MAITLAND CITY COUNCIL • HUNTER • NSW
MAITLAND TOWN PLANNING
Maitland is one of the Hunter Region’s major growth areas, combining established residential neighbourhoods and historic centres with rapidly expanding communities, new residential estates, commercial centres and employment lands.
Development across the Maitland LGA can involve a broad range of planning considerations, from new homes, alterations and additions and dual occupancies through to subdivision, residential development, commercial and industrial projects and development within the City’s growing urban areas.

DEVELOPING IN MAITLAND
Development within Maitland is influenced by a combination of local planning controls, continued population growth, new residential communities, established urban areas and the City’s important rural and heritage landscapes.
Depending on the location and nature of the proposal, development may require consideration of zoning, building height and density, minimum lot size, subdivision, traffic and access, flooding, bushfire, biodiversity, heritage and infrastructure servicing. Development within growth areas can also involve additional considerations relating to land release, infrastructure delivery and the transition between new development and established communities.
Understanding these considerations early can help identify potential planning issues, inform the design process and establish a clearer pathway for a Development Application.
Some of the issues we regularly consider include:
