Housekeeping amendments to Queanbeyan Local Environmental Plan 2012

The planning proposal in effect will amend the QLEP 2012 which was gazetted in November 2012. In order to ensure the plan remains current and accurate, it is necessary to undertake a number of housekeeping amendments to the plan. These include:

1. Updates to a number of incorrect property descriptions contained within Schedule One of the QLEP 2012.
2. Amending the Flood Planning Maps contained within QLEP 2012 to include the 1:100 year flood level plus a 0.5m freeboard to the Flood Planning Area. The flood planning maps will be updated to reflect the relevant clause in the QLEP 2012. Whilst the clause makes it clear that the flood planning area includes the 1:100 flood liable land plus 0.5m freeboard, the map does not currently reflect this.
3. Updating a local heritage item in Schedule Five Environmental Heritage to amend the reference to Item I84, 1 to 5 Hirst Avenue which was incorrectly listed when QLEP 2012 was gazetted. The property description will be updated, so it refers to the correct land, which is 1 and 5 Hirst Avenue.
4. Include a new local heritage item in Schedule Five Environmental Heritage (Shepherd’s Ruin 1291 Old Cooma Road) and amend the Heritage Map accordingly. This item has been assessed by Council’s Heritage Advisor and is recommended to be included in QLEP 2012.
5. In addition, it is proposed to add evaporative cooling units in Schedule 2 which lists exempt development.
