Council is currently seeking to rezone part of 158 Gorman Road, Goulburn within the Gorman Road Precinct of the Urban and Fringe Housing Strategy, to part R5 Large Lot Residential, and amend the minimum lot size. The site comprises one existing lot, being Lot 11 DP 1044967.
The planning proposal is proponent-led and seeks to rezone part of the western side of the land to R5 Large Lot Residential to provide for one additional lot incorporating a minimum lot size of 2 hectares.
The part of the land on the eastern side will retain its current C3 Environmental Management zoning and current 100ha Minimum Lot Size.
Planning Proposal
On 20 February 2024 Council resolved to prepare and forward a planning proposal to the NSW State Government to amend the land use zoning and amend the minimum lot size. A Gateway Determination (approval to proceed to the next steps in the process) was issued to Council on 30 August 2024 by the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure. This Gateway Determination includes a number of conditions that must be addressed, including government agency and community consultation.
Council has consulted government agencies and is now undertaking community consultation.
The outcomes of this consultation will be reported back to Council for consideration, at which time Council may resolve to proceed, or not proceed with the current Planning Proposal, or proceed with an amended planning proposal. Council aims to complete this planning proposal process by 30 May 2025.
Council is currently the delegated ‘Local Plan Making Authority’ responsible for finalisation of the planning proposal but the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure may determine the planning proposal should there be any outstanding unresolved objections.
Documentation associated with this planning proposal is on Public Exhibition between Tuesday 4 March 2025 to 5:00pm Monday 31 March 2025.
