Aspects Estate Dual Occupancy Lots, Lennox Head

The proposal is to rezone land at Lots 29 and 31 DP 1121058, Aspects Estate Lennox Head, from R2 Low Density Residential to R3 Medium Density Residential under Ballina LEP 2012, and to change the minimum lot size over the land from 600m2 to 800m2. The land is subject to an existing development consent for subdivision. The approved subdivision plans apply the 'duplex' (dual occupancy) designation to the land. However, dual occupancy is prohibited in Zone R2, while permitted in Zone R3. Under the previous Ballina LEP 1987, the land was in a residential zone which allowed dual occupancy.
