Shire Council-Strategic Fill Policy
File No: I2023/113
|
|
Committee Recommendation:
That the Floodplain Management Advisory Committee advises
Council:
1.
that committee members will meet between quarterly
meetings to consider
a)
changes to strengthen Chapters B14 and C2 of the 2014
Byron Shire Council Development
Control Plan in relation to Fill on Floodplains and
b)
the value of a broader Policy that goes beyond what the
DCP can achieve in limiting Fill on Floodplains,
and that the support of appropriate planning staff would be
greatly appreciated in such considerations.
2.
to resolve that the 2014 Byron Shire Council
Development Control Plan should be updated as a priority each and every time
a Floodplain Risk Management Study is created or updated within the Shire or
across our Shire boundaries (eg the Tweed – Byron Coastal Creeks Flood Study of 2010).
3.
to update the 2020 North Byron Floodplain Risk Management
Study as soon as possible to reflect the February 2022 flood event.
4.
to update the 2020 North Byron Floodplain Risk
Management Plan as soon as possible to reflect
changes caused by the February 2022 flood event.
