MidCoast Council has extended the exhibition period for the Lake Street Forster rezoning proposal with submissions now closing on Friday 5 March.
The exhibition period began on 10 December and Council will be holding another information day at the Forster Council office, to allow members of the community to chat to staff and consultants about the proposal.
The objective of the Planning Proposal is to change the planning controls over the site to allow for future high density residential development.
The proposed rezoning would amend the Great Lakes Local Environmental Plan 2014 to rezone the land from R3 Medium Density Residential to R4 High Density Residential, increase the permitted building height from 12m to 30m and remove the Floor Space Ratio controls over the subject site.
“We previously held an information session about the proposal in December last year and it was clear that it was important for the community to be given another opportunity to voice any concerns and chat to our planners and the consultants about the proposal,” said Gerard Tuckerman, Acting Manager of Land Use Planning.
“This next information day will be run in 30 minute sessions throughout the day starting at 10.30am and finishing at 6.30pm, with a limit of 10 people per session to allow everyone to have their say on the matter and ensure we abide by COVID-19 regulations.”
