Amendment to the Nambucca Development Control Plan 2010

 

Nambucca Valley Council has resolved to exhibit an amendment to the Nambucca Development Control Plan 2010 (DCP). It is proposed to amend clause A4.14 of the DCP so that tree permits are required in non-rural areas prior to the removal of specified vegetation. The amended clause is proposed to read as follows:

 

The following vegetation is declared to be vegetation to which Part 3 of the State Environmental Planning Policy (Biodiversity and Conservation) 2021 applies:

i.   Areas of vegetation on public land to be cleared by persons other than a public authority.

ii.  Areas of vegetation identified on the following map within the Pearl Estate Valla as vegetation to be retained/not to be cleared.

iii.  Significant trees within a non-rural area.

 

Note: A non-rural area is defined as any land within the following zones:

RU5 Village, R1 General Residential, R2 Low Density Residential, R3 Medium Density Residential, R4 High Density Residential, R5 Large Lot Residential, E1 Local Centre, E2 Commercial Centre, E3 Productivity Support, E4 General Industrial, MU1 Mixed Use, SP1 Special Activities, SP2 Infrastructure, SP3 Tourist, RE1 Public Recreation, RE2 Private Recreation, C2 Environmental Conservation, C3 Environmental Management, C4 Environmental Living.

 

A significant tree is defined as any tree which is listed as a threatened species, EEC species, or critical habitat for a threatened species, any tree listed on Councils Significant Tree Register, or any tree with a trunk circumference in excess of 2.0 metres. In addition, trees with multiple trunks that have trunks with a total circumference of 2.0 metres or more and an average circumference of 625mm or more are also classed as significant. In each situation the circumference of the trunk(s) is taken at a height of one metre above natural ground level.”

 

Any person may make a written submission in respect of the proposal which 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.
