LEP002/23 – 1905 and 1913 Bells Line of Road, Kurrajong Heights

Council has completed the Public Hearing in respect to a Planning Proposal for 1905 and 1913 Bells Line of Road, Kurrajong Heights (Lot 2 DP 582878, Lot 3 DP 582878). The Planning Proposal is due to be reported to Council on 11 June 2024

The Planning Proposal applies to the land at the frontage of 1897 and 1917 Bells Line of Road, Kurrajong Heights. The objective of the Planning Proposal is to reclassify the subject site from Community Land to Operational Land under Schedule 4 Classification and reclassification of public land of the Hawkesbury Local Environmental Plan 2012.

Documents associated with the Planning Proposal can be found under the Documents Tab on this page, or can be viewed in person at Council’s Administration Building, 366 George Street, Windsor from 9am to 4pm.

Reclassification of Land:

The Local Government Act 1993 requires that all Council-owned land be classified as either ‘Community’ or ‘Operational’ land. Under this act, Community Land cannot be sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed. Once the land is reclassified to Operational, it will no longer be protected under the Local Government Act 1993 from potential future sale or development. The change in classification from Community to Operational land will remove this restriction and allow Council to deal in the land on a commercial basis. This may include development, leasing or disposal of this land. The reclassification is undertaken by including in Schedule 4 Classification and reclassification of public land of the Hawkesbury Local Environmental Plan 2012 the parcel of land which is to be reclassified.

The application and other supporting documentation can be viewed during the exhibition period on Council’s online community engagement site www.yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au or between 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday at Council’s Administration Building, 366 George Street, Windsor. All submission must be made by 20 May 2024 at via this link or via email addressed to the General Manager at council@hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au or mail addressed to the General Manager, PO Box 146, Windsor NSW 2756.
