___________________________________________________________
Council exhibited a draft Development Control Plan for the Port Macquarie-Hastings local
government area in March 2010 in conjunction with the draft Standard LEP for the Port
Macquarie-Hastings. Fourteen (14) submissions were received and a report will be presented to
Council regarding these submissions in approximately 2-3 months time.
In the interim, it is proposed that Council re-exhibit additional draft DCP provisions on a number of
issues and revised draft DCP provisions on environmental buffers, for review and inclusion in the
final draft DCP to be reported to Council.
The additional provisions relate to Tree Management, Outdoor Dining and Roof Terraces and the
revised provisions relate to Environmental Management Areas and Buffers and Hollow Bearing
Trees. It is proposed that Council publically exhibit these draft provisions for a period of 28 days
in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Regulation. A
final draft DCP will then be prepared and reported to Council for adoption.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council:
1. Exhibit the attached draft DCP provisions relating to tree management, outdoor
dining and roof terraces in accordance with c18 of the Environmental Planning and
Assessment Regulation 2000.
2. Re-exhibit the environmental management areas and buffers and hollow bearing
trees section of the draft DCP.
3. Prepare the draft final DCP that considers any additional submissions on the
attached provisions and report to Council with the draft final DCP for adoption.
