Business Lands Strategic Plan - Coffs Harbour City Council - NSW ...

Coffs Harbour Local Growth Management Strategy
The Strategy designates Coffs Harbour as a major regional centre within the Mid North Coast Region.
Due to the size and regional centre roles of Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie, the draft Strategy
recommends that the projected industrial land requirements will primarily be focused upon these
areas to support their future growth. The Coffs Coast Region (Coffs Harbour, Bellingen and Nambucca
Local Government Areas) will require an additional 83 hectares of industrial land within the next 25
years. Similarly for commercial development, it is expected that Taree, Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour
and Grafton will take the majority of commercial development as these centres have the greatest
capacity for redevelopment.
The draft Strategy also defines potential areas for growth within each LGA. The Department has
released these as the draft ‘Growth Areas Map’ for the region. The draft Growth Areas Maps indicate
the land which is proposed as employment lands, which refers to land identified to provide the
necessary projected industrial or commercial land.
The proposed growth areas identified in the strategy for Coffs Harbour are confined to South
Woolgoolga, on the western side of the Pacific Highway directly adjacent to the existing Woolgoolga
industrial estate and within North Boambee Valley adjoining the existing Isles Drive Industrial Estate.
