Council decision and next steps

Council considered the post-exhibition report on 13 May 2025 (CL25.152) and resolved as follows (MIN25.247) on 20 May 2025:

That Council:

1. Adopt the Planning Proposal (PP-2024-109) for 131 St Vincent Street, Ulladulla as exhibited, to amend the Shoalhaven Local Environmental Plan 2014 as follows:

a. Rezone the land to MU1 Mixed Use

b. Increase the maximum height of buildings to 15m, 17m and 21m

c. Introduce a Floor Space Ratio of 3.5:1

2. Liaise with the NSW Department of Planning, Housing & Infrastructure (DPHI) on a potential local provision to be included in the amendment that requires the delivery of the promised 50 (or an equivalent percentage) of affordable housing outcomes, given that the gateway determination does not require a Voluntary Planning Agreement to be entered into before the LEP is amended.

3. Forward the endorsed Planning Proposal to the NSW Parliamentary Counsel’s Office to proceed to finalisation.

4. Advise stakeholders, including those who have made a submission, of this decision and when amendments will be effective.

Staff are working through the administrative process of amending the Shoalhaven Local Environmental Plan 2014 (LEP) in consultation with the NSW Parliamentary Counsel’s Office (PCO) and DPHI. The resulting amendment will be notified in the NSW Government Gazette, at which point the PP process will be formally concluded. A further update will be provided when LEP has been amended.
