Sutherland Shire Local Environmental Plan 2015 - Minimum Lot Sizes - THIS EXHIBITION IS NOW CLOSED

Consultation has concluded

At its meeting on the 7th August 2017 (PLN010-18), Council resolved to support a Planning Proposal to amend Sutherland Shire Local Environmental Plan 2015 (SSLEP2015) with regards to the minimum lot size requirements for dual occupancy and multi dwelling development.

The development of dual occupancy and multi dwelling housing on small lots can result in poor planning outcomes. This Planning Proposal recommends the following amendments to SSLEP2015:

  • Introduce minimum lot size of 600m2 for the construction of a dual occupancy in zone R2 Low Density Residential,
  • Introduce a minimum lot size of 700m2 for the construction of a dual occupancy in zone E4 Environmental Living, and
  • Introduce a minimum lot size of 1200m2 for the construction of multi dwelling housing in zone R2 Low Density Residential.

The Planning Proposal, Council report (PLN010-18) and Gateway Determination can be viewed under the Document Library (right hand panel).
