The subdivision makes up the first stage in the development of the South Urunga Investigation Area identified in council’s Bellingen Shire Growth Management Strategy.
The panel chair, Garry West said the decision was made after hearing community and stakeholder submissions.
“This new development will result in economic benefits to the surrounding area as new residents mean new customers for nearby shops and services,” he said.
“As well as bringing new homes to the area, a new public park will be developed as part of the application which will benefit future residents in South Urunga.”
The JRPP has approved the application, subject to conditions.
