Background
Council is seeking comments from the community on the revised draft Powells Creek Corridor Land Plan of Management. The revision includes the following additions to the draft plan:
- inclusion of new community land at 20A Parramatta Road Homebush
- minor updates to the draft plan
As the land located at 20A Parramatta Road Homebush has not been previously categorised, under the Local Government Act 1993, a public hearing must be called.
The Plan of Management (PoM) provides direction for the use and management of ‘community land’ under the Crown Land Management Act 2016 and Local Government Act 1993.
Plans of Management describes how Council intends to manage, use and develop the land in the future, thereby providing a transparent and coordinated approach to public land management. The draft plan also includes an action plan with objectives and performance targets for the land, prescribes permissible uses of land and the management of tenures over the land.
