Blue Mountains City Council has prepared Planning Proposal to introduce a new Standard Instrument zone (SP3-Tourist zone) into LEP 2015. The Planning Proposal also seeks to rezone certain sites to SP3-tourist zone and to rezone other specific tourism related sites to relevant existing zones. The sites included in the Planning Proposal are:
Blackheath Caravan Park and Lakeview Holiday Cabins (SP3-Tourist zone)
Hydro Majestic Hotel (SP3-Tourist zone)
Scenic World (SP3-Tourist zone)
Fairmont Resort (SP3-Tourist zone)
Echo Point Motor Inn (rezone to R1 – General Residential)
Parklands (rezone to R1 – General Residential)
Church Missionary Society (partial rezone to RE2 Private Recreation with additional permitted uses in Schedule 1)
School of Hotel Management and Waldorf Hotel (rezone to R1 – General Residential)
Katoomba Precinct - 41 Violet Street and 119 Cliff Drive, Katoomba
As the Development Control Plan provides detailed planning and design guidelines to support the planning controls in the Local Environmental Plan (LEP), the proposed introduction of a new zone and the rezoning of certain strategic tourist sites required a review of the relevant controls within the DCP.

Blue Mountains City Council commissioned the Strategic
Tourism and Recreation Planning (also known as the Stafford Report) to assist
Council in identifying opportunities to support tourism and recreational
development in the Blue Mountains and formed part of the background work to
then DLEP 2013 in 2011. The report was
exhibited as part of that process in late 2013 to early 2014. Following the
review of submissions process for (then) Draft LEP 2013, Council resolved on 23
October 2014 to commence a detailed review of the Stafford Report.
An Options Paper, the detailed review of specific
recommendations in the Stafford report, was presented to the 21 April 2015
Council meeting for the purposes of a non-statutory public exhibition. That
report presented a draft SP3-Tourist zone for comment, along with an assessment
of fifteen (15) sites nominated in the Stafford Report. The Options Paper and
relevant background papers, including the Stafford Report and Department of
Planning and Environment’s Practice Notes on tourism and land uses, were
available during a non-statutory six week consultation period from 5 August to
16 September 2015. A preliminary review of submissions received was contained
in a Council Report of 8 December 2015.
A further report providing a detailed review of
submissions was presented to the 29 March 2016 Ordinary Council Meeting.
That report also considered the need for a new land use zone, and contained a
discussion on the use of the SP3-Tourist zone in other tourist regions in NSW,
proposed principles for the application of a SP3-Tourist zone. It also included additional zone objectives
and land uses in response to submissions, along with an amended (reduced) list
of sites considered suitable for rezoning to the SP3-Tourist zone. During the
non-statutory exhibition of the Options Paper, a number of submissions raised
additional sites as noteworthy tourism locations where existing zoning does not
support the existing land uses. In response a draft planning proposal has been
prepared.
The draft planning
proposal for strategic tourist sites went to the 15 November 2016
Council meeting where it was resolved to send to the Greater Sydney Commission
seeking a Gateway Determination. The Planning Proposal was submitted to the
Department on 9 December 2016 and a Gateway Determination was received dated 24
January 2017.
