Statement from the Commission

West Culburra Concept Proposal

Posted: 15.01.2021

On 17 October 2018, the Independent Planning Commission refused development consent for the West Culburra Concept Proposal (SSD 3846).

The Commission’s refusal was then appealed by the Applicant for the Concept Proposal (Sealark Pty Ltd) in the merits jurisdiction of the Land and Environment Court of NSW. As part of those proceedings, Sealark Pty Ltd was granted leave by the Court to rely on an amended application for the Concept Proposal.

The Commission is currently assessing the amended application and considering whether to consent to approve the development as amended.

The amended application, along with the accompanying updated Environmental Impact Statement, will be exhibited from Friday 15 January 2021 to Friday 26 February 2021 electronically on:
