MidCoast Amendment to Great Lakes LEP 2014 - Reduce the minimum lot sizes for key greenfield sites identified on the Dwelling Density Maps

The planning proposal aims to reduce the minimum lot size requirement for a number of key greenfield sites from 1000sqm to 300sqm. These sites are identified on the Dwelling Density Map and zoned R3 Medium Density Residential under Great Lakes Local Environmental Plan 2014.The proposed amendment will make it possible to subdivide smaller allotments without the need to provide detailed building designs. It is envisaged that this should help facilitate the development of small lot housing and other forms of housing, to deliver the desired medium density targets.
