A proposed change to the Tamworth Regional Local Environmental Plan 2010 (TRLEP) to introduce design criteria for future development applications within the CBD is on public exhibition from Thursday, 20 January, 2022.

The amendment is an outcome of Council’s innovative Blueprint 100 plan, which aims to improve the Tamworth region’s liveability through improved social, cultural and physical amenity and the facilitation of smart growth.

The proposed change aims to ensure that any significant new development, or major additions and redevelopment of existing premises in the CBD, will take into account the overall design of the building and incorporate active frontages to key streets.

The proposal will be exhibited for a period of three weeks, closing on Thursday 10 February 2022 and letters have been sent to all CBD property owners to advise them of the proposed changes.

The Design Excellence Planning Proposal will not apply to minor development nor alter the permissibility of any uses within the current zoning of the land though it is hoped that over time, similar design criteria will be applied to other precincts across the region.

Further information can be found in the Public Notices section of Council's website.
