Council is exhibiting a planning proposal to amend the Port Stephens Local Environmental Plan 2013 to reclassify eight Council-owned sites from Community to Operational land. Under the proposal, four of the sites are also proposed to be rezoned from RE1 Public Recreation to R2 Low Density Residential.
The objective of the planning proposal is to allow for the future sale of the sites by Council and their use for residential purposes.
The sites have been identified as surplus land. The sites and proposed changes are:
- 1B Jessica Close, Raymond Terrace (Lot 4 DP 807214). Reclassify from Community to Operational land and rezone from RE1 Public Recreation to R2 Low Density Residential.
- 4 Payton Street, Raymond Terrace (Lot 68 DP 248229). Reclassify from Community to Operational land and rezone from RE1 Public Recreation to R2 Low Density Residential.
- 20 Benjamin Lee Drive, Raymond Terrace (Lot 1063 DP 826758). Reclassify from Community to Operational land and rezone from RE1 Public Recreation to R2 Low Density Residential.
- 27 Campbell Ave, Anna Bay (Lot 4 DP 787398). Reclassify from Community to Operational land and rezone from RE1 Public Recreation to R2 Low Density Residential.
- 101 Kindlebark Drive, Medowie (Lot 721 DP 1033896). Reclassify from Community to Operational land. The current R2 Low Density Residential zone will be retained.
- 124 Benjamin Lee Drive, Raymond Terrace (southern portion) (Lot 3082 DP 786401). Reclassify from Community to Operational land. The current R2 Low Density Residential zone will be retained.
- 154 Rocky Point Road, Fingal Bay (Lot 17 DP 805074). Reclassify from Community to Operational land. The current R2 Low Density Residential zone will be retained.
- A-1 Mount Hall Road, Raymond Terrace (Lot 18 DP 238628). Reclassify from Community to Operational land. The current R2 Low Density Residential zone will be retained.
Council is not the designated local plan-making authority for this planning proposal, as the Governor’s approval is required when a reclassification proposal seeks to remove any public reserve status or discharge any interests affecting public land.
The planning proposal will be on exhibition from Monday 13 April to 11 May 2026 at:
- Council's Administration Building, 116 Adelaide Street, Raymond Terrace (during normal business hours)
- Raymond Terrace Library, 18A Sturgeon Street, Raymond Terrace
- Tomaree Library, 7 Community Close, Salamander Bay
