Hospital site re-zoning on exhibition for community comment

24 August 2017

A proposal to amend Orange's Local Environmental Plan by a re-zoning of the former base hospital site, is now up for community comment.

The proposed re-zoning (LEP Amendment 22) is about land at 84 Dalton Street, known as the former base hospital site and bounded by Prince Street, Anson Street, Dalton Street and Sale Street.

The site is proposed to be rezoned from R3 Medium Density Residential to a combination of B4 Mixed Use for the eastern Anson Street end of the site.

At the western Sale Street end of the site R3 Medium Density Residential is to be retained for both Prince Street and Dalton Street frontages separated by a corridor of RE1 Public Recreation land.

In addition to the above rezoning the Height of Buildings map is also proposed to be amended in relation to the eastern Anson Street end of the site.

Some minor increase in height is proposed to facilitate redevelopment of this area for a potential Public Administration Building or similar.

The height limitation mapping is to be removed from the heritage listed former ambulance station on the corner of Anson Street and Prince Street (Lot 1 Section 4 DP 758817).

The amendment comprises the following documents and is on Public Exhibition at Council’s offices at the corner of Lords Place and Byng Street until Friday, 22 September 2017.

DEADLINE : Submissions must be received by 5pm on Friday, 22 September 2017.
