Redmond Place Precinct, Orange

Proposal: The Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (the Department) has formally accepted a rezoning proposal from Landcom to rezone vacant Council-owned land for residential use in Orange. The Redmond Place Precinct proposal is the first to be assessed under the Social and Affordable Housing Program. 

The proposal aims to amend the Orange Local Environmental Plan (OLEP) 2011 to allow the rezoning of vacant Council-owned land for a residential precinct. The Redmond Place Precinct will provide approximately 330 new homes, with 20% of these homes being identified as affordable housing. 

The precinct will offer the Orange community new open spaces, including parks and recreation spaces, shared pathways for walking and riding, community gardens and public access to existing natural assets.

The Explanation of Intended Effect and rezoning proposal were placed on public exhibition from 21 October to 18 November 2024. Feedback received during the exhibition period will be reviewed by the Department and considered in finalising the planning documents. Finalisation of the planning documents is expected in early 2025.
