Council received a Gateway Determination for a Planning Proposal to amend the Central Coast Local Environmental Plan 2022 provisions applying to Narara Eco Village located at 17 and 33 Gugandi Road, Narara. Amendments are also proposed to Chapter 5.8 (Narara Gosford Horticultural Institute) of Central Coast Development Control Plan 2022.

A Planning Agreement, associated with the original rezoning of the site in 2007, has recently been amended and is exhibited concurrently with this Planning Proposal and DCP. 

The Planning Proposal seeks to reduce the lot size applying to the R2 zoned portion of the site, rezone land and introduce additional permitted uses. These amendments aim to   improve housing diversity and affordability by facilitating a range of housing typologies, provide flexibility for local services and employment by permitting small scale retail and business uses, and enable the adaptive reuse of existing buildings.

The Planning Proposal, draft Development Control Plan (DCP) chapter, Planning Agreement and supporting documentation are on exhibition from 23 October to 20 November 2023.

The community were invited to read the FAQs (below) and view the Draft Planning Proposal, DCP (main document and technical documents) and Planning Agreement available in the Document Library on this page.
