THE PLANNING PROCESS
Community and stakeholder consultation will feature throughout each stage of the planning process. The landowners will continue to seek feedback and keep the community informed.
Unlocking Bombo Quarry draft Master Plan involves two planning applications:
-
State Significant Development Application (SSDA): seeking approval through the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) to rehabilitate the quarry by carrying out quarry-filling earthworks.
-
Planning Proposal: seeking approval through Council to rezone the Precinct to allow the land to be used and developed, in line with state and local government objectives for the Precinct. The Planning Proposal will set the parameters for future development within the Precinct.
PROJECT TIMELINE
JUNE - JULY 2024 - WE ARE HERE
-
We are sharing the draft Master Plan with the community to collect feedback. This will be incorporated into the final Master Plan.
LATER IN 2024:
-
We will lodge a Planning Proposal informed by the Master Plan seeking approval for changes to the land uses within the Bombo Quarry Precinct.
-
We will also lodge the SSDA seeking approval for earthworks and site rehabilitation. This will be followed by a public exhibition period, where the community will have an opportunity to provide feedback.
-
We will update the community on how feedback, ideas and aspirations for Bombo Quarry have shaped the final Master Plan.
2025:
-
A decision will be made on the SSDA and Planning Proposal.
Post 2025:
We will commence rehabilitation of the Precinct and progress toward delivering new homes in line with the NSW Government’s Illawarra Shoalhaven Regional Plan 2041 and Council’s Growth Strategy.
