Bowral South NLA is one of the six New Living Areas (greenfield land release areas) identified in our adopted Wingecarribee Local Housing Strategy, which provides the long-term planning framework to meet the housing needs of our community.

We are continuing to lead the master planning process, engaging with our community and State agencies to ensure this future residential development is well-planned, well-designed and supported by essential infrastructure.

A review of the 118 written community submissions and 49 survey responses received during the public exhibition period has been completed.

Feedback from State agencies on the draft Master Plan and Servicing Strategy identified the need for further due diligence to inform refinement of the draft prior to progressing a Planning Proposal. In response, additional technical studies are underway to strengthen the planning framework for the NLA.

This includes:

• Land Use Conflict Risk Assessment (LUCRA)
• Flood Impact and Risk Assessment (FIRA)
• Additional Heritage Reports:
  • Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment Report (ACHAR)
  • Statement of Heritage Impact (SOHI)
  • Historical Archaeological Assessment and Research Design

These studies will help inform refinement of the draft Master Plan and Servicing Strategy, ensuring future development is technically robust, appropriately planned and responds to environmental and cultural considerations.
