Amendment 23 to Blue Mountains Local Environmental Plan 2015 - The Clarendon

Blue Mountains City Council has prepared Draft Amendment 23 to Blue Mountains Local Environmental Plan 2015 and is now seeking your feedback.

The aim of the Draft Amendment is to include ‘The Clarendon and interiors’ at 68 Lurline Street Katoomba as a new local heritage item within Schedule 5 of the Blue Mountains LEP 2015. It also seeks to make minor ‘housekeeping’ amendments to the details of thirteen other existing heritage items, involving corrections of inconsequential errors to the names, addresses, property descriptions or mapping of those heritage items listed within the Blue Mountains LEP 2015.

The Planning Proposal for the Draft Amendment was considered at the 28 January 2025 Council Meeting. Council resolved to send the Planning Proposal to the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) for a Gateway Determination.

A Gateway Determination was issued by the DPHI on 24 March 2025 confirming that the Planning Proposal may proceed to public exhibition. Progress of the Proposal can be monitored on the NSW Government Planning Portal website.

Draft Amendment 23 is on public exhibition from Monday 7 April until Wednesday 14 May 2025.
