What is being proposed?

Solo Resource Recovery, the current Council waste contractors, operating from 84, 86, 88 and 90-92 Chinderah Bay Drive, Chinderah, are seeking to enable a ‘depot’ land use as permitted with development consent. A substantial portion of the subject site is used for parking and storage of vehicles, however the relevant land use, ‘depot’, is currently prohibited under the MU1 Mixed Use zone.

The Planning Proposal seeks to amend the Tweed Local Environmental Plan 2014 (LEP 2014).

Hard copies of the documents can be viewed at Tweed and Murwillumbah Council offices upon request.

How will this planning proposal be implemented?

What is a Planning Proposal?

A Planning Proposal is a draft amendment to a Local Environmental Plan (LEP), which is a plan that determines what land can be used for within a local government area. An LEP gives every property a land use zone with a list of land uses that are allowed and not allowed. In addition to the land uses shown in each zone, LEPs include a list of Additional Permitted Uses (APUs) that only apply to specific properties.
