The latest

Council is seeking feedback on two draft planning documents proposed to guide the development and delivery of a future new residential area in the suburb of Badagarang, north of Nowra, known as the Moss Vale Road North Urban Release Area.

About the project

These later became Urban Release Areas (URAs) with the commencement of Shoalhaven Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2014.

The Nowra-Bomaderry URAs are recognised in the Illawarra-Shoalhaven Regional Plan as being regionally significant release areas.
