We have organised for Paul de Szell, who is the Director Liveable Communities for MidCoast Council, together with a senior Council planner, to attend the next NACCAi meeting and give our community a presentation on the new draft MidCoast Local Environmental Plan (LEP). Community consultation will be undertaken on it from 29 April to 14 July 2024.
This draft MidCoast LEP will replace the existing LEP's for Great Lakes, Taree and Gloucester. It is an important document because it sets out the future zoning and development standards for the MidCoast Council area.
It could result in major changes to development in the non-urban area with the formation of over a hundred environmental living lots, and have a significant impact on North Arm Cove and Carrington village residents.
The LEP presentation will cover:
- How it was developed
- What changes are proposed for the North Arm Cove area zoning, including the non-urban area
- The steps and timing to finalise the LEP
- The community consultation process and lodging submissions
It will take place at the beginning of the meeting, and we will schedule time for questions and answers after the presentation.
Residents and landowners in the North Arm Cove and Carrington villages, including those who are not NACCAi members, are welcome to attend. So, if you would like to find out about the rezoning changes, come along to the meeting on Saturday 18 May, from 2-4 pm in the Community Centre, and after the meeting stay for a cuppa and a chat.
Mr De Szell may also be able to answer questions on other issues impacting on North Arm Cove if there is time, so if there is anything Council related that you have a concern about, come to this meeting and seek answers.
If you have a question that you would like answered and you won’t be able to ask it at the meeting, email it to naccai@northarmcove.nsw.au by Thursday 16th May, and we will ask it for you.
