Background

Workshops held in 2018 with land owners and businesses in the Australian Marine Complex (AMC) found that land use controls within the AMC were overly restrictive, limiting potential for use, sale and leasing of land. As a result, the City's Town Planning Scheme was changed in 2020 to introduce a new wider range of possible land uses at the AMC. 

To reflect the changes to the Town Planning Scheme, the City's Local Planning Policy 3.9 now needs to be amended to:

• Provide land owners and developers with specific direction on acceptable land use and development standards;
• Guide the City's decision-making on new developments and proposed changes to land use.

To read about the proposed changes, and who will be impacted, read the FAQs.
