TO ARMIDALE DUMARESQ LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN 2012
Council gives notice of the exhibition of a Planning Proposal for Draft Amendment No 10 to Armidale Dumaresq Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2012.
The intended outcome of the Planning Proposal is to rezone Lots 661 and 662 DP 755808, Lot 2 DP 1213220 and part Lot 1 DP 1129031 at 48-72 Kurrawatha Avenue, Armidale, from R5 Large Lot Residential to part R2 Low Density Residential and reduce the lot size standard to enable future low density residential subdivision of this part of the property. It is also proposed to protect the environmental values of a section of Martins Gully that traverses Lot 1 DP 112031 by rezoning part of this lot from R5 Large Lot Residential to E4 Environmental Living.
