You are invited to review and provide a submission on a Planning Proposal that seeks to protect the rights of existing legal rural land sharing communities and prohibit any future developments of this type.
The objective of the Planning Proposal, referred to as PP21/0001, is to make rural land sharing communities a prohibited land use in the Tweed Shire. It will do this by removing the reference to Tweed’s local environmental plans from the State Environmental Planning Policy (Primary Production and Rural Development) 2019.
If adopted this would prohibit RLSC, or Multiple Occupancies (MO), in the Tweed.
Council is not the local plan-making authority for this planning proposal.
Background
Within the context of rural land, Rural Land Sharing Communities (RLSC) or Multiple Occupancies (MO) refers to rural properties where ‘common areas’ are shared by more than one household established through arrangements such as trusts, cooperatives, shareholdings and partnerships.
There are approximately 13 lawful RLSCs and MOs within the Tweed.
The demand for RLSC is not currently high, however more recent RLSC are significantly larger, increasingly spanning over multiple lots and are more similar to large lot residential development. They are also in areas where subdivision and additional housing may not currently be permitted.
Council has provided funding to prioritise development of a Growth Management and Housing Strategy which will provide guidance on the type, location and timing of additional dwellings throughout the Tweed, including our rural areas.
