Questions with Notice for Feb 4 meeting

These are the questions that I have submitted to the GM for answers to be published in the Agenda for the February 4 Council meeting.

  1. Many properties have been rezoned in our Draft LEP currently with State planning. Can the General Manager inform us of the number of properties which are rezoned?
  2. The majority of the rezoned properties appear to have more restrictive zonings placed on them. Can the General Manager tell us the number of properties which have been rezoned with more restrictive land use, for example but not only, from an RU zoning to a C zoning?
  3. As these zoning changes remove previously lawful economic opportunities, will compensation be made available to those land holders who lose the ability to productively farm their own land?

Intramaps

For in-depth information about all properties in our LGA go to https://maps.midcoast.nsw.gov.au/intramaps23a/. The link opens this page.

For information about Current and Proposed Zones I’ve added a page here.

After you agree to the conditions then zoom in to find the property you wish to investigate.

The layers menu on the left hand side is where the magic happens. It’s detail makes it a little intimidating so experiment first and watch the map change. If you know exactly what info you need you may have to open up the menus within ‘Layer’ to find it. By clicking within the boundaries of the property a menu will open on the right showing information about it.

I suggest that it’s worthwhile to open up the MCC Draft LEP menu making it possible to compare the current zoning listed in the right hand menu with what the colour of the zoning shows on the map. It’s best to check by turning all zonings off and choosing them one by one in case the colouring is not sufficiently clear to you.

Happy searching.
