A report regarding a proposed Planning Proposal (PP) to amend Clause 4.1H of Shoalhaven Local Environmental Plan 2014 will be considered at Council’s Development and Environment Committee Meeting on Monday, 20 July 2020.

Clause 4.1H currently enables small lots (being lots from 300sqm to 500sqm in size) to be considered in certain high amenity locations in the Moss Vale Road South Urban Release Area (URA). Council’s consideration of recent development applications for subdivision in the URA has identified that the clause requires adjustment to enable it to operate as intended/expected. It is also proposed to make Clause 4.1H generic so that it can be applied to other URAs as desired and where appropriate, once those URAs are ‘released’ for development.
