Golf course gets private zoning

All of the Everglades Golf course is expected to be zoned RE2 Private Recreation following the adoption of Gosford Council's new planning scheme on Tuesday, May 31.

Land that was to be zoned RE1 at the golf course will be zoned RE2 once the ownership of the land is transferred from the Crown to the golf course.

According to a council staff report, the RE1 zone was applied to the land on the basis of it being Crown land.

Privately owned recreational uses had been zoned RE2 under the draft LEP, and the majority of the golf course was exhibited as being in this zone.

The report stated that council records did not indicate that the transfer of land had taken place, but staff said they were happy to amend the zoning on receiving the documentation.
