Amendment to Cessnock LEP 2011 - Integrated Tourist Development Wine Country Drive Golden Bear

The Planning Proposal investigates whether the subject land should be rezoned from RU4 Primary Production Small Lots to SP3 Tourism under the Cessnock Local Environmental Plan 2011. The subject land has an area of approximately 250 hectares.The rezoning will permit the development of an integrated tourist development consisting of the following:- Eighteen (18) hole golf course and clubhouse, 300 tourist and visitor accommodation units, which includes a 50 room hotel, 300 permanent residential dwellings, and function centre, neighbourhood shops, food and drink premises. Subdivision requires development consent under clause 2.6 of the Cessnock Local Environmental Plan 2011. There is no minimum subdivision requirement on the Lot Size Map so it is possible to create development lots of any size provided it is consistent with the local clause, which requires the site to be developed as an integrated tourist development.
