NOTICE OF LOCAL PLANNING POLICY ADOPTION

REAR LANEWAY ACCESS

Planning and Development Act 2005

At the 5 November 2026 Council meeting, the Rear Laneway Access – Local Planning Policy, was finally adopted.

The Rear Laneway Access policy has been developed to provide guidance on the use of rear laneways as a primary source of vehicular access to landholdings where conventional access from the primary street frontage is impractical or would result in an inferior planning outcome.
