LIVED EXPERIENCES AND DRAFT AMENDMENT TO THE NAMBUCCA LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN 2010
I wish to advise you that Nambucca Valley Council is undertaking further consultation on the planning proposal and amendment to the Nambucca Local Environmental Plan 2010 (LEP) to require development consent for intensive plant agriculture in the RU1 Primary Production and the RU2 Rural Landscape Zones.
At its 17 December 2025 meeting, Council resolved to call for members of the community to forward their lived experience of the impacts of intensive plant agriculture and that these be forwarded to the Department of Planning with the next submission of the LEP amendment.
Should you have any lived, direct experience with the impacts of intensive plant agriculture in the Nambucca Valley, please consider making a written submission to Council and it will be shared with the Minister for Planning when we next lodge our planning proposal.
Submissions must be lodged with Council no later than 27 February 2026. Submissions must be addressed to the General Manager, Nambucca Valley Council, PO Box 177, Macksville NSW 2447 or sent by email to council@nambucca.nsw.gov.au.
Yours faithfully
