Housekeeping 2 - Review of Classified Road Widening (14/2013/PLP)

Submissions Close 05 June 2015

Council resolved at its meeting of 8 April 2014 to prepare and exhibit an amendment to The Hills Local Environmental Plan 2012.

The Roads and Maritime Services (formerly known as the RTA) frequently widen the extent of certain sections of State Roads in order to improve the capacity, efficiency and safety of the State Road network. However, in certain areas the extent of land required for road widening partially encroaches onto private land. Where this occurs the RMS will acquire the portion of private land required to facilitate the road widening.

All land required by the RMS for road widening purposes must be identified on the zoning and acquisition maps of Council’s Local Environmental Plan. As part of the review process Council has worked with the RMS to identify where Council’s mapping needs to be amended to ensure that it is consistent with the RMS acquisition maps.
