Outcome of October 2020 Council Meeting

On Tuesday 6 October 2020 Council’s Development & Environment Committee considered a report on the progress of planning for the Moss Vale Road North Urban Release Area where it was resolved (MIN20.712) that Council:

1. Endorse the preparation of a Planning Proposal to amend the provisions and mapping in Shoalhaven Local Environmental Plan 2014 relating to the Moss Vale Road North Urban Release Area as outlined in Table 2 of this report.

2. That the Planning Proposal initially identify both options (Council one and relevant landowner one) for the proposed ‘local centre’ and associated zones/provisions, noting that Council will engage an independent report post Gateway from an agreed consultancy to assess both options to identify the optimal location for the commercial/retail centre that will be included in the Planning Proposal before exhibition.

3. Submit the Planning Proposal to the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment for a Gateway determination.

4. Adopt the proposed Indicative Layout Plan provided as Figure 1 as the basis for developing detailed Development Control Plan Chapter and a development contributions framework for the release area.

5. Not proceed with an application for strategic Biodiversity Certification of the release area and continue to consider opportunities for managed biodiversity outcomes.

6. Receive a further report on the outcomes of the Gateway determination, draft Development Control Plan Chapters, development contribution framework, and various other planning matters relating to the delivery of the Moss Vale Road North Urban Release Area.
