Amendment 24 Newcastle LEP 2012- Reclassification and rezoning of land at 162A Newcastle Road, Wallsend (Lot 110 DP 9755) (0 dwellings - formalises vehicular access only)

The amendment to Newcastle LEP 2012 seeks to:- rezone 162A Newcastle Road, Wallsend (Lot 110 DP 9755) from RE1 Public Recreation to R3 Medium Density Residential; - amend the development standards on site by applying a 10m maximum building height, 0.9:1 maximum floor space ratio and 450sqm minimum lot size; and - reclassify the land from community to operational under the Local Government Act 1993.This draft LEP will finalise the proposal as Amendment 24 to Newcastle LEP 2012.BACKGROUNDThe planning proposal originally related to two rezoning and reclassification proposals (4 Mayo St, Jesmond and 162A Newcastle Road, Wallsend). On 1 March 2016, the Department determined that two proposals should proceed as a combined proposal. However, 4 Mayo street, Jesmond no longer forms part of the draft LEP. Subsequent Alterations of Gateway separated the two proposals (Gateway Alteration 29 July 2016) and determined that 4 Mayo Street, Jesmond not proceed (Gateway Alteration 25 May 2017).
