Draft Coffs Harbour Development Control Plan 2015 – Amendment No 38 (Laneways)
Council at its Ordinary meeting of 8 February 2024 resolved to publicly exhibit draft amendments to Coffs Harbour Development Control Plan (DCP) 2015 to provide development controls that aim to support and achieve the objectives of the draft Laneways Policy and to contribute to the public realm and respond to and initiate laneway activation and development.
The proposed DCP amendment will implement actions to help activate laneways and stimulate development with them. The draft DCP amendment includes changes to existing controls and the inclusion of new controls that aim to achieve:
- activation of commercial areas;
- facilitation of infill development;
- enabling safer spaces for people to walk and cycle;
- providing a shared function of laneways with motor vehicles; and
- improving the overall connectivity of key infill areas.
The exhibition period is from 12 February 2024 to the close of business on 24 March 2024. The draft DCP amendment can be viewed online on Council’s Have Your Say Page: haveyoursay.coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au where online submissions can also be made. Written submissions can also be made to: The General Manager, City of Coffs Harbour, by post to Locked Bag 155, Coffs Harbour NSW 2450 or by email to coffs.council@chcc.nsw.gov.au.
