The planning proposal wants to rezone land south of Hitchcocks Lane from RU1 Primary Production to R2 Low Density Residential.

This rezoning will allow a subdivision of around 150 low-density housing lots.

In addition there are proposed changes to minimum lot size controls. It would allow some smaller and larger lots with a height limit of 8.5m.

Most of the subject land will have a minimum lot size of 500 m2, a row of lots at a minimum of 700 m2 are proposed to face the southern boundary of the Huntingdale Park.

The land is owned by Shoalhaven City Council and has been identified as a Long Term Investigation Area in the Shoalhaven Growth Management Strategy.

On 8 September 2017, council received a request from Cowman Stoddart Pty Ltd to prepare a Planning Proposal.

In its planning proposal, council said there was a need for the proposal as the take-up of land in the Huntingdale Park Estate had been faster than envisaged and available land supply in the area is almost exhausted.

If you are interested in providing feedback to the proposal you can email Shoalhaven City Council at council@shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au. More details are available at getinvolved.shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au/hitchcocks-lane.
