BATHURST TOWN PLANNING
BATHURST TOWN PLANNING
Bathurst Regional Council has a diverse development environment, combining the major regional centre of Bathurst with established residential neighbourhoods, commercial and industrial precincts, surrounding villages, rural properties and agricultural land across the Central Tablelands.
Development across the region can involve a broad range of planning considerations, from residential development and subdivision through to commercial and industrial projects, rural dwellings, agricultural development and development on larger rural properties.
Whether you’re planning a new home, subdivision, commercial or industrial development, rural project or something more complex, we provide practical planning advice and professionally prepared Development Application documentation to help navigate Bathurst Regional Council’s planning requirements with confidence.

DEVELOPING IN BATHURST
Development within the Bathurst Regional Council area is influenced by a combination of local planning controls, heritage considerations, environmental constraints, infrastructure requirements and the diverse urban and rural character of the Central Tablelands.
Depending on the location and nature of the proposal, development may require consideration of zoning, subdivision and minimum lot size, heritage significance, bushfire and flooding constraints, biodiversity, access and infrastructure servicing. Development outside established urban areas can also involve dwelling entitlement, agricultural land and rural land-use considerations.
Understanding these constraints early can help identify potential planning issues before significant time and money is committed to detailed design or a Development Application.
RURAL EXPERIENCE. BEST RESULTS
Regional and rural development can present very different planning challenges to metropolitan projects, from agricultural land and infrastructure servicing to environmental constraints, rural subdivision and larger development sites.
