A proposal for a new housing subdivision at the northern end of Leeds Parade is being considered by Orange City Council.
The proposal would involve a re-zoning of agricultural and industrial land into a residential zoning, and the amendment to Orange Local Environmental Plan (to be known as LEP Amendment 13) has now been placed on exhibition for community comment.
From now until 1 November the community are invited to review and comment upon a planning proposal, known as LEP Amendment 13.
The land is at the northern end of Leeds Parade, alongside the council border with Cabonne Shire Council, and comprises the former abattoir site and adjoining rural lands.
The proposal seeks to rezone this land and adjust the minimum lot size for subdivision to enable the area to be considered for a large lot residential subdivision.
Ultimately the proposal may enable up to 450 residential lots of 1 - 2 acres in size with some corridors of public open space particularly along drainage corridors and creeklines.
An existing transmission line easement will be separately zoned to ensure protection of important infrastructure.
HOUSING : A proposal for a new housing estate in North Orange is the subject of are-zoning proposal
The proposal seeks to rezone the land from a combination of
- IN1 General Industrial and
- RU1 Primary Production
to a mix of
- R5 Large Lot Residential,
- E4 Environmental Living,
- RE1 Public Recreation and
- SP2 Electrical Transmission Line.
The proposal also seeks to amend the minimum lot size for subdivision from 100ha to a combination of 4,000m2 and 8,000m2 and will be subject to an Urban Release Area designation to ensure that appropriate Development Control Plan provisions are adopted prior to any development application.
An associated Addendum to the existing Blayney Cabonne Orange Sub-Regional Rural and Industrial Lands Strategy seeks to address the implications for industrial land supply across the three council sub-region.
