Not Proceeding
87-97 Castle Hill Road & 121-131 Oratava Avenue, West Pennant Hills
The Hills Shire
The intent of the Planning Proposal is to enable the divestment of surplus forestry land and to facilitate
low density residential development that is consistent with surrounding development.
In order to achieve this intent, the Planning Proposal proposes to:
• rezone the land from RU3 Forestry to R2 Low Density Residential
• apply a height limit of 9 m to the land
• amend the land’s minimum lot size from 40 ha to 1,140 m2 for the northern site and 1,700 m2 for the
southern site
