Draft Planning Proposal Policy

Council at its meeting on 16 October 2019 resolved to endorse for public exhibition a new Draft Planning Proposal Policy, which will inform and educate the community regarding the process and requirements for the submission of Planning Proposals to amend the Council’s Local Environmental Plan (LEP).

A Planning Proposal is a document that explains the intended effect of a proposed LEP or amendment to the LEP, and sets out the justification for making that plan or amendment. Council, as a Planning Proposal Authority under the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, is required to assess and prepare planning proposals to amend the LEP.

The Draft Planning Proposal Policy is on public exhibition from Wednesday, 23 October to Wednesday, 20 November 2019 and is available to view at Council’s offices in Port Macquarie, Wauchope and Laurieton.

During the exhibition, all interested persons are encouraged to view the Draft Policy and provide written comments. All comments received will be reported to a future Council meeting for consideration before a final decision is made.

Please note, any submission may be made public. Contact details remain confidential; however let us know if you would like your name to remain confidential too.
