NAMBUCCA VALLEY • MID NORTH COAST • NSW
Nambucca Valley has a diverse coastal and regional development environment, extending from Nambucca Heads and Valla Beach through Macksville and Bowraville to rural properties and environmentally sensitive hinterland areas across the Mid North Coast.
Development throughout the Valley can range from new homes, alterations and residential subdivision through to tourism and visitor accommodation, commercial and industrial projects, rural development and proposals within bushfire-prone or environmentally constrained locations.

DEVELOPING IN NAMBUCCA VALLEY
Development within Nambucca Valley is influenced by a combination of local planning controls, coastal and environmental constraints, bushfire and flooding risk and the diverse character of its coastal towns, established villages, rural properties and hinterland areas.
Depending on the location and nature of the proposal, development may require consideration of zoning, minimum lot size, coastal hazards, flooding, bushfire, biodiversity, heritage, access and infrastructure servicing. Development within rural and hinterland areas can also involve agricultural land, dwelling entitlement, on-site servicing and compatibility with surrounding land uses.
Tourism development, residential subdivision and development within established coastal communities can involve additional considerations relating to built form, neighbourhood character, views, traffic and environmental impacts. Understanding these issues early can help inform the design process and establish a clearer pathway for a Development Application.
