Feedback on the Laffing Waters Master Plan

Laffing Waters has been identified for residential growth for some time. The area is identified as Urban Release in the Bathurst Regional LEP 2014 and is zoned General Residential. The aim of this Master Plan is to facilitate an important opportunity to create a sustainable, liveable community over 360 hectares. The Master Plan outlines development of approximately 2270 dwellings, as well as associated commercial, retail and community facilities that will set the benchmark for future growth in the region.

The Master Plan calls on best practice urban design principles, responding to the context of the site and the unique spirit of the place. The residential density proposed has been carefully considered to meet identified demands. It’s proposed to provide a distinctive, liveable community for approximately 5200 residents, who are supported by a vibrant Neighbourhood Activity Centre and high quality open space. The planned usable open space is in line with the Bathurst 2040 Open Space Strategy and carefully integrated water sensitive urban design, with green links and pedestrian connections proposed between key areas.
