Amendment C69alpi seeks to correct zoning errors on 59 properties across Alpine Shire.
Zones are areas of land that are designated for specific use, which allows or restricts how that land can be used by landowners.
Amendment C69alpi is necessary to ensure that parcels of land across Alpine Shire have appropriate zoning applied to their parcel boundaries and that public zones are not applied to private land.
A list of the affected properties can be viewed online on Engage Alpine.
Alpine Shire Council Mayor, Cr Sarah Nicholas, said that the Explanatory Report, which is available both online and in person, identifies the current zoning, the proposed zoning, and the reason for change.
“While planning can be complex, it is important for people to know that there are different zones that are important to guide future development proposal and the future sustainability of our region,” she said.
“We’re fortunate to have access to prime agricultural land, as well as land that is valuable for important industries, which means that we continue to support diverse economic growth in these sectors.
“We also want to make sure that all landowners are zoned correctly so that they don’t run up against unnecessary planning issues in the future.”
All affected property owners will receive a letter outlining the proposed changes to their parcel of land.
