Council is exhibiting a Planning Proposal for the Jacaranda Development at Glossodia.

• Lot 19 DP 214753, 211 Spinks Road, Glossodia,

• Lots 1, 2 and 3DP 784300, 780A – 780C Kurmond Road, North Richmond

The primary objective of the planning proposal is to enable an improved ecological outcome for the subject site whilst enabling development of the subject site for residential, public recreational, environmental conservation and infrastructure purposes.

The Planning Proposal reconfigures the current R2 Low Density Residential, R5 Large Lot Residential, RE1 Public Recreation and SP2 infrastructure zoning of the subject site made under Hawkesbury Local Environmental Plan 2012 (Amendment No 5) in December 2014. The proposed amendments will provide the highest level of protection for parts of the subject site containing critically endangered species and endangered ecological communities by rezoning those areas to E2 Environmental Conservation whilst retaining a maximum yield of 580 lots.

The planning proposal and other supporting documentation, including:

• Draft Jacaranda Development Control Plan
• Biodiversity Application
• Draft Voluntary Planning Agreement

can be viewed during the exhibition period on Council’s community engagement site www.yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au, or between 9:00am to 4:00pm Monday to Friday at Council’s Administration Office, 366 George Street, Windsor.
