Proposed Amendment to the Tamworth Regional Local Environmental Plan (TRLEP) 2010 

The objective of the Manilla Planning Proposal is to recognise existing commercial operations on 18 parcels of land in Manilla with appropriate industrial and business zones to provide certainty for business owners regarding permissibility of such uses in the future. The subject lands were zoned R1 – General Residential through the publication of the TRLEP 2010 on 21 January 2011.

The proposal also seeks to correct two (2) anomalies that have arisen via the publication of the TRLEP 2010. It is proposed to remove one (1) of the subject lands from Schedule 5 – Environmental Heritage in the TRLEP 2010 as it has been incorrectly identified as a heritage item. It is also proposed to rectify a zoning anomaly by rezoning one (1) lot from B2 – Local Centre to RE1 – Public Recreation, this being a portion of Rotary Park in the main street of Manilla.

The Manilla Planning Proposal will be publicly exhibited from 6 August 2012 to 20 August 2012 at:

• Tamworth Regional Council (TRC) Customer Services Centre, Ray Walsh House, 437 Peel Street, Tamworth; and
• Council’s Manilla Branch Office in Manilla Street, Manilla.
