Code Amendment ID: 10167 Dublin Employment

The Dublin Employment Code Amendment has now been finalised, altered and adopted by the Minister for Planning.

The Code Amendment rezoned 680 hectares of land immediately south of the township of Dublin from the Rural Zone to the Strategic Employment Zone and applied a Concept Plan to the whole of the affected area comprising approximately 986 hectares to support the future growth of the region and create a green circular economy precinct.

The Code Amendment will facilitate the development of a bioreactor and associated employment opportunities across a range of sectors:

• The Green Economy, including energy production from biomass, innovation in farming and food production methods, recycling industries, and fertiliser harvesting and distribution

• Manufacturing, fabrication and logistics for the renewable energy sector

• Defence and infrastructure.

A Concept Plan has been adopted to provide guidance for future development including:

• Approximately 436 hectares of developable ‘Future Employment Land’

• An interface buffer to the adjacent Conservation Zone

• Stormwater management aspects including a detention basin and swale

• Indicative road access points and key intersection upgrades.

The Code Amendment was altered to amend new Concept Plan 154 Dublin to show naming of the interface buffer as ‘Native Vegetation / Regeneration Interface Buffer with Conservation Zone’.
