Overview
The Growth Planning Team is publicly exhibiting a proposal to amend the Dubbo Regional Local Environmental Plan 2022 for land at 34L Pinedale Road, Dubbo (Lot 103 DP 1143590).
The proposal seeks to reduce the minimum lot size for this site from 8 hectares to 5 hectares, allowing the creation of additional large‑lot residential properties, subject to development consent.
Intended outcomes:
- Enable further subdivision for large‑lot residential dwellings, consistent with neighbouring properties
- Improve land use efficiency by developing already zoned and serviced residential land
- Increase the diversity of lot sizes to meet ongoing housing demand.
