MAYORAL MINUTES
MAYORAL MINUTE NO. 4/2008
SUBJECT: DRAFT CESSNOCK LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN 2008
The draft Cessnock Local Environmental Plan 2008 which is currently with the Department of Planning (DoP) for consideration prior to going on public exhibition dispenses with the "existing holdings" provisions which have been in existence for many years which in turn removes the right to build a dwelling on those lots affected by these provisions.
The draft has been prepared by Council taking in to account the expressed concern of the DoP that this ‘right' should end, and also responding to the Department of Primary Industries' (DPI) similar concern that continued residential uses in the rural areas has detrimental impacts upon agricultural pursuits.
However, Councillors are aware of the issues associated with the proposed removal of the existing holding provisions and it is recommended that staff investigate, in consultation with DoP, alternative arrangements which will retain the rights offered by the current existing holdings provisions, and ensure that they are included in the Cessnock Local Environmental Plan 2008.
RECOMMENDATION that:-
-
Staff investigate, in consultation with DoP, alternative arrangements which will retain the rights offered by the current existing holdings provisions, and ensure that they are included in the Cessnock Local Environmental Plan 2008.
-
Council write to the Minister for Planning as a matter of urgency expressing Council's support for the retention of the rights offered by the current existing holdings provisions, through the adoption of mutually acceptable terms in the Cessnock Local Environmental Plan 2008.
