PLANNING AMENDMENT C286
At the Council meeting on 4 April 2023 Councillors resolved to request that the Minister for Planning approve the proposed Amendment C299morn to extend the expiry date of the interim DDO28 by 12 months. DDO28 is set to expire on 31st July 2023. Extending DDO28 will provide protection against inappropriate development until such time as C286 is approved by the Minister.
Amendment C286morn seeks to replace the existing interim DDO28 with a revised and permanent DDO28 based on the recommendations of Council’s adopted Ocean Beach Road Sorrento Built Form Review (Design Urban, 2021) (‘Built Form Review’). The amendment aims to ensure that appropriate and permanent mandatory design controls apply in the precinct to ensure future development protects and respects the low-scale, coastal and historical character of the area whilst allowing for reasonable growth to occur in line with the township’s broader role and function.
Amendment C286morn was publicly exhibited for 12 weeks from 28 July to 24 October 2022 and 73 submissions were received. Most submissions objected to the amendment in full or in part, raising issues ranging from concerns about over development and amenity impacts to controls being unnecessarily restrictive in certain parts of the precinct.
It is recommended that these issues be investigated further before Council decides whether to progress Amendment C286morn to the next stage in the planning scheme amendment process, i.e. refer the amendment and submissions to an independent Planning Panel for review and recommendations.
We strongly encourage you to become involved with the group in your area.
