Public Road Subdivision as Exempt Development

Feedback closes 27 February 2025

We would like your feedback on a planning proposal that seeks to amend the Byron Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2014 - Public Road Subdivision as Exempt Development.

The objective of the planning proposal is to include public road subdivision as an item within Schedule 2 Exempt Development of the Byron LEP 2014.

The amendment will allow Council to efficiently subdivide and close Council-owned roads without having to meet the minimum-lot size required to subdivide land in that particular zone.

The subdivision and closure of Council owned roads is a regular function of Council and including it in Schedule 2 is considered to be the most efficient means for doing this.

Council is required to finalise this planning proposal by 17 July 2025.
