Adopted by Council – 13 February 2025. Gazetted – 23 May 2025.
The planning proposal has amended the Byron local Environment Plan (LEP) 2014 to:
- Extend the existing R2 Low Density Residential Zone
- Rezone part of the land to R3 Medium Density Residential Zone at 68 Rankin Drive Bangalow
This site is identified in the Byron Residential Strategy 2041 and Affordable Housing Contribution Scheme.
This will be the first private land to activate the Affordable Housing Contribution Scheme 01 in the Shire.
The Scheme enables future contributions toward affordable rental housing for our community when the land is developed.
