South West Rocks Structure Plan

Summary

Council is developing the South West Rocks Structure Plan to prepare for and sustainably support predicted growth in South West Rocks, Arakoon and Jerseyville.

The population of South West Rocks is forecast to grow at an average of 2.4% per annum between 2021 to 2036. To meet the demands of this growing population, the town will need an extra 1,582 dwellings by 2041.

Council placed the draft South West Rocks Structure Plan on public exhibition from 1 February to 14 March 2023.

Background

The first step in developing the plan was asking the community to share their ideas, views and aspirations for the future of South West Rocks.

A survey for community members to provide their feedback closed on 30 March 2022. The key findings from this survey were presented in a discussion paper, which then made recommendations for the South West Rocks Structure Plan. The results and key findings from this period can be found on Your Say Macleay.

The South West Rocks Structure Plan is being developed alongside the Local Growth Management Strategy to plan for and sustainably support the predicted growth.

How to get involved

Council placed the draft South West Rocks Structure Plan on public exhibition for 28 days from 1 February to 28 February 2023. The public exhibition was then extended to 14 March 2023.

Feedback to the Plan is now closed.

The community was encouraged to provide feedback to let council know whether we got the plan right or if there was anything missing.

Submissions were made by one of the following methods:

1. Filling out the short online survey

2. Providing a written response and address it to:

General Manager
Kempsey Shire Council
PO BOX 3078
West Kempsey 2440

Submissions are now closed.

What happens next?

Council will review the submissions and determine what amendments are required to the draft South West Rocks Structure Plan.

Once any necessary changes are made, the South West Rocks Structure Plan will be reported to a future Ordinary Meeting of Council for endorsement.
