Williamtown Defence and Airport Related Employment Zone (DAREZ) Land Use Development StrategyLast modified: April 17, 2009 - 1:55 PM
The Lower Hunter Regional Strategy was released in October 2006 and identifies where future employment lands are to focussed to meet the demands of the expected population growth in the region. Logically the land in the vicinity of the RAAF Base Williamtown and Newcastle Airport has been earmarked as having potential for employment generating development. GHD Pty Ltd was engaged by the Department of Planning in May 2006 to prepare a Land Use and Development Strategy for the proposed DAREZ Zone at Williamtown. The Strategy was prepared in consultation with the Project Control Group which included representatives from Port Stephens Council, the Department of Planning, the Department of Defence, Hunter Water Corporation, Newcastle Airport Limited, NSW Premiers Department and the Department of State and Regional Development. The Williamtown DAREZ Land Use Development Strategy has been developed in order to present the outcomes for a preferred land use scenario for the staged development of the subject area over the next 10 to 25 years. It provides a development control framework to guide the future use of the land within the proposed employment hub. It has been prepared in the form of a Local Environmental Study so that it may be used by Port Stephens Council to assist with the rezoning process and to progress the development of the land as an important regionally significant employment generating initiative. The document was adopted by Council on 24 June 2008. The document is in three volumes:Volume One - Land Use Development Strategy Volume Two - Assessments and Studies relating to the Strategy Volume Three - Background Reports
