A Planning Proposal application (Council Ref. PP2022/0001 & NSW Planning Portal Ref. PP-2024-854)) has been received by Council seeking to rezone part of Lots 832 & 833 DP847683, 395 Reardons Lane SWAN BAY for a rural residential subdivision. The Planning Proposal specifically seeks to amend the Richmond Valley Local Environmental Plan 2012 (the Planning Scheme for Richmond Valley Council) by:
- rezoning part of the land from Zone RU1 Primary Production to Zone R5 Large Lot Residential (about 35.5ha), while retaining Zone RU1 over the remaining 53ha;
- to reduce the minimum subdivision lot size (MLS) from 40ha to 7,000m2 within the proposed Zone R5 area; and
- to reduce the dwelling opportunity over Lots 832 & 833 to only apply to the retained Zone RU1 area.
