Certification Application (BCA)

The updated BCA and Biodiversity Conservation Assessment Report (BCAR) were exhibited concurrently with the PP in accordance with ‘best practice’ and no submissions were received. The Application will be determined by the NSW Minister for Environment and Heritage.

Next Steps

Part 6 (Urban Release Areas) of the LEP applies to the Warrah Road URA layer (illustrated in the attached plan) and requires that a DCP and infrastructure planning arrangements are in place before the land can be released/subdivided. In this regard, Council also resolved (MIN19.289) that the release of the land under Part 6 of the LEP should not occur “until after BOTH the duplication of the Princes Highway/Shoalhaven River Bridge and the Far North Collector Road are complete”. Council’s position on timing will be reconsidered after the bridge duplication and Far North Collector Road projects have been completed and reviewed.

At the appropriate time, staff will seek Council support to formally commence preparation of the DCP and to involve the local community in that process.
