For Private Sale by Expression of Interest

The Observatory, Coorabell Escarpment, is located within an environmental protection land use zoning.

Byron Shire Council’s Tree Preservation Order applies to environmentally sensitive 7(d) escarpment lands.  The removing of protected trees for the purpose of improving views, as evidenced by recent Court convictions, is taken seriously by the Local Government Authority.  Large fines have been imposed in the Byron Shire for breaches of the Tree Preservation Order under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act.

Under the Byron Shire Council’s 7(d) (Scenic / Escarpment Zone) objectives, development consent is required for the clearing of land, construction of new building sites, new access driveways and compliance with new building setbacks from arterial roads.

Recent reported court outcome statements by Byron Shire Council’s Corporate Governance Manager, demonstrate and clearly express the important significance of Byron Shire’s existing land use policy. Quote ~  “These conditions are put in place to ensure there is sustainable land use in Byron Shire.”   ~   “It is not for individual land owners, no matter who they are, to decide they do not wish to comply with laws that are in place for the benefit of the wider Byron Shire community.” ~  The Northern Star, 15 February 2012.

Byron Shire land use Planning Zones Maps

Quote ” Visually prominent / scenic areas ~ Inappropriately located rural settlement can ultimately destroy the very scenic amenity of an area which attracted residents in the first place.  Preserving the dominant landscape features or scenic characteristics of an area is fundamental to ensuring that the visual rural qualities of the Shire (i.e. prominent ridges, bushland or timber, creeks, views, aspect, etc.) are not further diminished by future rural settlement.  ~    As a minimum starting point, the Strategy excludes all lands zoned in the Byron LEP 1988 as  7(d) (Scenic / Escarpment Zone ) from future rural settlement in the Shire.” ~ Extract from the ” Byron Rural Settlement Strategy 1998 ~ Best Practice Guidelines and Performance Standards ” ~ Page 99
