Amendment to Great Lakes LEP 2014 - Livable Housing Design Guidelines and flexible zone boundaries

The planning proposal aims to amend Great Lakes Local Environmental Plan 2014 as follows:-i) amend clauses 4.3 and 4.4 to require residential development utilising the bonus height and floor space ratio provisions to be designed in accordance with the Livable Housing Design Guidelines instead of AS 4299-1995 Adaptable housing;ii) amend clause 7.17 so that it applies to all land zoned R3 Medium Density Residential, in addition to the existing R4 High Density Residential, B1 Neighbourhood Centre and B2 Local Centre zones. All residential development in these zones will be required to be designed in accordance with the Livable Housing Design Guidelines instead of AS 4299-1995 Adaptable housing; andiii) introduce a new clause to provide flexibility between zone boundaries of up to 20m, for land identified on the new Flexible Zone Boundary Area Maps. The proposed clause does not apply to land zoned RE1 Public Recreation, Zone E1 National Parks and Nature Reserves, Zone E2 Environmental Conservation, Zone E3 Environmental Management or Zone W1 Natural Waterways, or land within the coastal zone, or land proposed to be developed for the purpose of sex services or restricted premises.
