Council has prepared a planning proposal seeking to amend the rezoning and associated planning controls of the Bungendore Sports Hub located at 7 and 15 Halfway Creek Road, Bungendore, within The Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Local Environmental Plan 2022 (QPRLEP 2022).

On 23 October 2024, Council endorsed to forward the planning proposal to rezone 7 and 15 Halfway Creek Road, Bungendore to the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) seeking a Gateway determination.

The DPHI issued a Gateway determination on 14 February 2025 (PP-2024-2011) advising Council to proceed with further assessment of the planning proposal, including public consultation.

The Halfway Creek Road/Bungendore Sports Hub planning proposal, and associated documents and associated studies are available in the document panel.

Proposed amendments

  • Amend the Local Environmental Plan (LEP) maps and rezone the privately owned land at 7 Halfway Creek Road, Bungendore (Lot 2 DP 548291 and the 20m wide dissecting section of uniformed public road) from RE1 Public Recreation to RU1 Primary Production.
  • Amend the Local Environmental Plan (LEP) maps and rezone the Council-owned community land at 15 Halfway Creek Road, Bungendore (Lot 1 DP 1262898) from RU1 Primary Production to RE1 Public Recreation. This will recognise the Recreational facilities (indoor) which includes an indoor swimming centre (aquatic centre), to be permitted on the land. Currently under the RU1 Primary Production zoning, Recreational facilities (indoor) are prohibited.

Consequently, it will also remove the land from the land reservation (LRA) map as it is no longer needed for the Bungendore Sports Hub.
