Burns Point Ferry Road - Planning Proposal to Rezone Land

Planning Proposal 22/007 Proposed Rezoning of Land – Burns Point Ferry Road, West Ballina

Council resolved to rezone land at Burns Point Ferry Road, West Ballina in October 2022. The land, located at the corner of River Street and Burns Point Ferry Road and extending along the western side of Burns Point Ferry Road, is known as Lot 1 DP 124173 and has an area of approximately 56 hectares.

The northern part of the land is currently zoned R2 Low Density Residential, with the southern part zoned RU2 Rural Landscape.

Council’s proposal is to rezone the land to C2 Environmental Conservation, other than a small area located in the north-east corner, which would stay as R2 Low Density residential.

The decision to change the site’s zoning follows a previous Development Application for a manufactured home estate on the land, which was refused by the NSW Land and Environment Court in late 2021. The Court found that residential development as proposed would have unacceptable impacts on the land’s high environmental values. This judgment has formed the basis of Council’s decision to rezone the site.
