West Culburra State Significant Development Application Update

The NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) has presented a report to the NSW Independent Planning Commission (IPC) recommending that they refuse the state significant development application (SSDA) for residential development at West Culburra.

The documents provided by the Department are available on the Independent Planning Commission's website.

The IPC has advised Council that there will be a public meeting for this application before a decision is made, and this meeting will be held in or near Culburra. It is hoped that the state significant development application for a proposed golf course at Long Bow Point will be considered by the IPC at the same time. The report for the golf course report is not currently available.

Any questions regarding these matters should be referred to the Independent Planning Commission on (02) 9383 2100.

Council staff are currently reviewing the Department's report and considering its significance for the Planning Proposal. Council may make a submission to the IPC in relation to the state significant development applications but has not yet determined what, if any, submission it will make.
