A local centre typical of those covered by this Code Amendment

What is the Centre Zones Adjustment Code Amendment?

The Centre Zone Adjustment Code Amendment is a proposal by Council to change the zoning policy covering existing Local and Suburban Activity Zone centres across 11 sites in the Council area.

The purpose of this Code Amendment is to adjust zone boundaries to:

  • align with the current extent of centres
  • correct existing anomalies in zoning boundaries
  • provide greater flexibility for the future adoption of sites where centres have evolved or are evolving.

The Code Amendment is needed to ensure that zoning reflects land uses on the ground and envisaged. This provides greater certainty for load owners and avoids unnecessary assessment pathways.

What locations are covered by the Code Amendment and what changes are proposed?

Zoning changes are specific to each site and are summarised below.
