Public Exhibition
Draft Climate Change Risk Assessment and Adaptation Action Plan
Hawkesbury City Council is inviting community members to view and comment on Council’s Draft Climate Change Risk Assessment and Adaptation Action Plan (Draft Plan), which will be on public exhibition at www.yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au from Wednesday, 27 September 2023 to Wednesday, 25 October 2023.
The Draft Plan provides a foundation and reference point for Council to discuss, negotiate and continuously review our approach to responding to climate risks.
The Draft Plan considers the high-level potential consequences of climate hazards for Council services and identifies the main categories of potential consequences that are most likely to impact Council’s ability as an organisation to deliver these services to the community.
The Draft Plan focuses on adaptation measures and provides Council with a list of short, medium and long-term measures to address the risks and impacts of climate change within the Hawkesbury Local Government Area. The scope for this Draft Plan is limited to Council’s service delivery only and does not address community adaptation measures or environmental conservation.
The Draft Plan will be implemented alongside other key Council strategies and plans, including but not limited to, the adopted Environmental Sustainability Strategy and the Resilient Hawkesbury Plan (in drafting). This connection ensures that the environmental, economic, and social implications of Council’s work will be considered in everything Council does.
A copy of the Draft Climate Change Risk Assessment and Adaptation Action Plan, along with a Summary is included in the Documents tab on this page. The Draft Plan has been prepared to include the outcomes of engagement and is available for review under the documents tab on this page, or can be viewed at Council’s Administration Building, 366 George Street, Windsor, Monday to Friday during opening hours, 9am to 4pm.
Council will receive online submissions via www.yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au or in writing addressed to the General Manager by mail to Hawkesbury City Council, PO Box 146, WINDSOR NSW 2756, or email council@hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au up to close of business on Wednesday, 25 October 2023.

Planning Proposal LEP002/23 – 1905 and 1913 Bells Line of Road, Kurrajong Heights NSW
Council is exhibiting a Planning Proposal for 1905 and 1913 Bells Line of Road, Kurrajong Heights (Lot 2 DP 582878, Lot 3 DP 582878) at www.yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au from Wednesday, 4 October 2023 to Wednesday, 1 November 2023.
The Planning Proposal applies to the land that forms the road reserve on the frontage of 1897 and 1917 Bells Line of Road, Kurrajong Heights.
The objective of the Planning Proposal is to reclassify the subject site from Community Land to Operational Land under Schedule 4 Classification and reclassification of public land of the Hawkesbury Local Environmental Plan 2012.
A hard copy of the Planning Proposal and other supporting documentation can also be viewed during the exhibition period at Council’s Administration Building, 366 George Street, Windsor from 9am to 4pm.
Council will receive online submissions via www.yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au or in writing addressed to the General Manager by mail to Hawkesbury City Council, PO Box 146, WINDSOR NSW 2756, or email council@hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au up to close of business on Wednesday, 1 November 2023.
The Minister for Planning has not delegated the making of the Local Environmental Plan to Council, as the Planning Proposal applies to Council owned land.
The Local Government Act 1993 requires that all Council-owned land be classified as either ‘Community’ or ‘Operational’ land. Under this act, Community Land cannot be sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed. Once the land is reclassified to Operational, it will no longer be protected under the Local Government Act 1993 from potential future sale or development. The change in classification from Community to Operational land will remove this restriction and allow Council to deal in the land on a commercial basis. This may include development, leasing or disposal of this land. The reclassification is undertaken by including in Schedule 4 Classification and reclassification of public land of the Hawkesbury Local Environmental Plan 2012 the parcel of land which is to be reclassified.
Confidentiality is not available to respondents. The details of any submissions may be included in a Council report where it may help to resolve issues raised in the submission.

The information will be stored in Council's electronic records system and paper files. For your protection, Council recommends that you do not include defamatory comments in your submission.
Under Section 10.4(5) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, any person who makes a submission to Council is required to disclose any political donation or gift. Where relevant a Political Donation and Gift Disclosure Statement is to accompany any submission lodged with Council. This statement can be obtained from Council’s Customer Service Unit or on Council’s website.
Any comments about this proposal may contain information that is personal information, such as information that identifies you, etc, for the purposes of the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1988.
Submissions are balanced with Council’s statutory obligations, the rights of the proponent and the public interest. Council must consider any submissions made before it decides whether to proceed with or abandon a proposal.
