Have Your Say - Moss Vale Road North Urban Release Area

Published on 15 June 2022

Council’s planning to deliver a future residential area in the Nowra-Bomaderry area, known as the Moss Vale Road North Urban Release Area, is underway.  

This area was identified for urban development in 2008 and will provide land for between 2000 to 2500 new homes, a local shopping centre and open space. The future community will also be supported with a range of infrastructure including parks and roads. 

The planning documents, guiding the future development of the release area, have been prepared and are now being exhibited for the community’s information and to provide feedback. 

The planning documents on exhibition include: 

• A Planning Proposal recommending changes to existing land use zones and planning controls, such as minimum lot sizes, building heights, and the location of smaller lots.
• Draft Development Controls for the design of the future subdivision and dwellings, the layout of the local centre, the street network, and the management of environmental areas. These are proposed to be added as a new chapter in Council’s City-wide Development Control Plan.

The planning documents, and a range of background and supporting information, are on public exhibition, for community feedback, until Friday, 1 July 2022.  

For more information about the exhibition, and how to make a submission, visit Council's Documents on Exhibition web page.

The naming of the new suburb is also open for feedback on the Geographical Naming Board’s website (GNB File 3653). The proposal will be open for public comment until 1 July 2022, with submissions to be made via the GNB’s website.
