Planning Proposal for reclassification - Centre Road, Moama

30 September 2022

Planning Proposal to reclassify Council owned land from 'Community' to 'Operational' at Centre Road, Moama

Lot 3 DP813704, Centre Road, Moama is a 200 hectare parcel of land located approximately 13km north-east of Moama’s town centre. The land came into Council ownership on 29 August 2018 as part of an agreement with a third party to purchase the land from Council and subsequently construct an ethanol plant. The third party chose not to pursue the purchase of the land from Council and has now ceased their plans to establish an ethanol plant in Moama. Council retained ownership of the subject land with the aim to eventually provide a site for future commercial activities near the Moama township. As the site is currently classified as 'community land', before any future potential for this site can be realised, the land is required to be reclassified to 'operational land' via a Planning Proposal. At the Council meeting on 23 August 2022, Council endorsed Planning Proposal 2022-2347, which if adopted will:

• Use the provisions of Clause 5.2 of the Murray Local Environmental Plan 2011 (LEP) to reclassify Lot 3 DP813704 from ‘community land’ to ‘operational land’.
• Amend Schedule 4, Part 1 of the Murray LEP 2011 to include Lot 3 DP813704

Council is required to undertake a number of formal processes, which have been detailed in the Planning Proposal. All the documents and information associated with the Proposal are available in the 'key documents' panel to your right. As no formal plans for the site have been finalised, there are no plans or designs for a included as part of the Planning Proposal. Any future development of the site will be subject to a future process at a later date.

For any questions relating to the Proposal or the process, please chat with Senior Town Planner, Llyan Smith (see the 'Who's Listening' tab to your right).
