Alcohol Free Zones including Narromine Wetlands

Since the implementation of the Alcohol Free Zones in 2008, Narromine Shire Council and NSW Police have seen a reduction in the number of complaints relating to broken bottles and irresponsible behaviour.
Council resolved to re-establish Alcohol Free Zones in Narromine and Trangie using the 50km speed signs to determine the area within each town, for a period of 4 years effective 23 December 2024 to 22 December 2028 with the Narromine Wetlands to be included in the zone.

Narromine Industrial Precinct - Craigie Lea Lane

In February 2021, the NSW Government affirmed its support for the Narromine Heavy Industrial Precinct and Freight Exchange by confirming $9 million in funding from the Growing Local Economies Fund. A Planning Proposal has been prepared to change the zoning of land from RU1 Primary Production to E5 Heavy Industrial to support future development of a 29-lot industrial subdivision across 100ha of land at Craigie Lea Lane.

The Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure review planning proposals through the gateway process and, if they support them, the proponent may publicly exhibit proposals. The gateway process ensures effort is invested at appropriate stages, that technical information is sufficient, and that our consultation with authorities, government agencies and the community is informed and effective.

The approval to proceed to community consultation from the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure was received following the Gateway Determination. The Narromine Shire Council at the November Council meeting, resolved to advance the Planning Proposal into an Exhibition and Consultation period.

ABOUT THE PROPOSAL

For specific details view the Planning Proposal Documents on Exhibition and the Summary Document, that are supplied below this text.

Local Environmental Plans set out zones for land. Each zone has a land use table that tells landowners, councils and other interested parties what they can and cannot do on a parcel of land. The Narromine Local Environmental Plan 2011 (LEP) does not currently use the E5 Heavy Industrial zone in the LEP.

A comparison of the two zones RU1 – Primary Production and E5 – Heavy Industrial, can be read here:

LEP Comparison Narromine Industrial Precinct

(The abovementioned document summarises the differences between the agricultural purpose of the RU1 zone and the industrial focus of the E5 zone.)

The inclusion of a new zone and objective specific to the Council strategic vision for the area, will differentiate the existing employment areas within the LGA: ‘To provide opportunities for intermodal freight exchange and related industries’.

Incorporating this additional objective will ensure that any forthcoming developments consider the connection between the Inland Rail, Narwonah Materials Distribution Centre, the road network and the prospective growth of the Narromine Industrial Precinct. This specific zone and objective ensure that the development of the precinct differs and is not in competition with the existing employment precincts and encourages development suitable for its intended purpose. Providing an area for industries to be separated from other land uses. The Planning Proposal as presented aims to guarantee that the future development of the area aligns with and encourages the establishment of value-adding businesses, including agricultural business, in the area that capitalise on the rail and road linkages.
