In March 2024, Council received the Googong Township Eastern Boundary Amendment Planning Proposal, seeking to amend the zonings and the mappings of Lot 11 DP 1266001 and Lot 6 DP 1294382 in Googong, within the Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Local Environmental Plan 2022 (QPRLEP 2022).
On 22 May 2024, Council endorsed to forward the Planning Proposal to the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) seeking a Gateway determination.
The DPHI has issued a Gateway determination advising Council to proceed with further assessment of the Planning Proposal, including public consultation.
The Planning Proposal and associated studies are available in the document panel.
Proposed amendments
- Rezone all of the land within the Pink Tail Worm Lizard Conservation Area from R5 Large Lot Residential to C2 Environmental Conservation, in response to an approved Biodiversity Certification Assessment and development application (DA.2021.1549)
- Make a number of minor adjustments to the zone boundaries along the interface between Googong Neighbourhoods 4 and 5 (NH4&5) to align zone boundaries with future development areas.

- Amend the minimum lot size map to reflect zoning outcomes
