5504 - STATE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING POLICY AMENDMENT

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Planning, and Minister for Women

Will the Minister provide a separate and extended consultation period for the State Environmental Planning Policy Amendment (Newcastle City Centre), which facilitates significant changes in building heights and abolishes clause 7.9 (4) of the Newcastle Local Environmental Plan 2012 (LEP)?
Answer -

I am advised that:

The draft Newcastle Urban Renewal Strategy and draft State Environmental Planning Policy Amendment (Newcastle City Centre) were first exhibited for four months from 14 December 2012 until 19 April 2013.

In response to submissions further amendments were proposed, including changes to the height controls in the Newcastle Local Environmental Plan 2012, and these amendments were exhibited from 5 March to 21 March 2014.

The length of the public exhibition period provided sufficient time for the public to consider the available information and make a submission on the proposal, particularly given the extensive prior consultation on the Newcastle Urban Renewal Strategy.
