DEVELOPING IN COFFS HARBOUR
Development within Coffs Harbour is influenced by a combination of local planning controls, coastal and environmental constraints, significant areas of vegetation and the varied urban, rural and hinterland character of the Coffs Coast.
Depending on the location and nature of the proposal, development may require consideration of zoning, building height, minimum lot size, flooding, coastal hazards, bushfire, biodiversity, heritage, traffic and infrastructure servicing. Development within rural and hinterland areas can also involve agricultural land, dwelling entitlement and land-use compatibility considerations.
Coastal and higher-density development can present additional issues relating to built form, views, character, access and environmental constraints. Understanding these considerations early can help identify potential planning issues, inform the design process and establish a clearer pathway for a Development Application.
