A Planning Proposal application (Council Ref. PP2025/0001 & NSW Planning Portal Ref. PP-2024-2355)) has been received by Council seeking to rezone 70 Manifold Road North Casino (being Lot 22 DP601461) to rezone the land to enable it to be developed for a rural residential subdivision. The Planning Proposal specifically seeks to amend the Richmond Valley Local Environmental Plan 2012 by:
- rezoning the land from Zone RU1 Primary Production to Zone R5 Large Lot Residential (about 9.7ha);
- to reduce the minimum subdivision lot size (MLS) from 40ha to 7,500m2; and
- to remove the dwelling opportunity as mapped over Lot 22 (noting the land and future lots would have dwelling opportunities due to the new R5 Zoning).
