Plain English Summary

9/10 complexity

This plan is the main rulebook for land use and development across the Shoalhaven local government area. It divides all land into zones (such as rural, residential, commercial, industrial, conservation, and waterways) and sets out what you can do on each piece of land without council approval, what you need approval for, and what is banned outright. It also contains specific rules for things like minimum lot sizes for subdivisions, building heights, floor space ratios, heritage protection, flood risk, environmental conservation, and bushfire safety. The plan is designed to manage growth, protect natural and cultural assets, and provide for community needs. It affects anyone who owns, wants to buy, or plans to develop land in Shoalhaven, as it dictates what is possible on any given property.
