Planning Proposal Verons Estate Sussex Inlet

This planning proposal seeks to resolve and finalise the residential development potential for Verons Estate, a small lot paper subdivision of 32 (8 hectare) lots 3km west of Sussex Inlet. The land is currently zoned part Rural 1(d) (General Rural) and part Environment Protection 7(a) Ecology under Shoalhaven LEP 1985 with a 40ha minimum lot size. Under the draft Shoalhaven LEP 2013 (Principal LEP) the land is proposed to be zoned part Rural Landscape (RU2) and part Environmental Conservation (E2) which reflects the situation under the Shoalhaven LEP 1985.The planning proposal will be an amendment to the notified Shoalhaven LEP 2013. It will rezone the land a mix of E4 Environmental Living, E3 Environmental Management and E2 Environmental Conservation in conjunction with a reduction in the minimum lot size requirement for part of the Estate to enable one dwelling per lot within the Badgee Lagoon catchment.The varied lot size provides the best available development potential for landowners while still protecting high conservation value lands and connections to other environmentally significant areas.
