Summary of Submissions and Survey Responses

Council has published the Summary of Submissions and Survey Responses received during the exhibition of the Preliminary Growth Scenario and Key Sites.

In 2022/2023, Council exhibited a Preliminary Growth Scenario of potential sites and opportunities for residential growth. The Scenario contained a series of maps and fact sheets setting out the growth challenge and identifying potential growth options. Three Key Sites were also exhibited for community feedback. The planning controls for these Key Sites are being reviewed as they were deferred from previous planning exercises.

124 submissions were received. These included submissions from the Community Consultative Bodies "Milton 2538" and the "Red Head Villages Association", the development industry, and several NSW Government Agencies. 230 surveys were completed. 18 alternative proposals were also received. These included landowner nominated outcomes for residential and rural-residential development and alternative growth options.

The feedback has been summarised and sorted into categories covering a range of matters including each of the potential growth options and Key Sites. Other categories include, for example, Milton's character and values, infrastructure and servicing, and dwelling demand and supply.

Council will consider this feedback as it continues its long-term land use planning work, including the preparation of a City-wide Housing Strategy.
