Planning proposal to amend The Hills Local Environmental Plan 2012 to prohibit animal boarding or training establishments from RU6 Transition zone (8/2017/PLP)

Submissions Close 20 March 2017

Council received Gateway Determination with delegation on 16 February 2017 to proceed with a planning proposal to prohibit animal boarding or training establishments from the RU6 Transition zone. This is in response to a number of complaints regarding amenity impacts associated with animal boarding or training establishments over a sustained period of time in the RU6 Transition zone. This land use is now considered to be beyond the effective management of development controls within the context of the RU6 Transition zone. Accordingly, it is considered that animal boarding or training establishments can no longer operate in a manner consistent with the objectives of the RU6 Transition land use zone and should therefore be prohibited.

It should be advised that any existing or approved animal boarding or training establishments located within the RU6 Transition zone will not be affected by this planning proposal. It simply ensures any future animal boarding or training establishments can now only be permitted with consent in the RU1 Primary Production or RU2 Rural Landscape zone.

Delegation for making of the LEP has been issued to Council under the Gateway Determination.
