Council seeks your feedback on the site specific amendment to the Leichhardt Local Environmental Plan 2013 for 36 Lonsdale and 64-70 Brenan Streets, Lilyfield.

The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPI&E) issued a Gateway determination for the planning proposal for the above site. Council has been given delegation as the Planning Proposal Authority to exhibit the proposal but not the authority to make the plan.
