In a previous member alert we advised that Holroyd City Council was re-exhibiting its draft local environmental plan. The Council has extended its exhibition period to 31 August, 2011. It should be noted that many residential areas of the Holroyd local government area currently permit medium density development, however if this plan is made, this form of housing will be prohibited in the majority of locations where it is currently permitted. Further information may be accessed from here. Please contact us with your comments or concerns.
