THE $1.5 billion Huntlee new town proposal is back, with a court this morning effectively reinstating its rezoning for more than 7000 homes and employment lands.
The NSW Court of Appeal has today upheld an appeal by the project’s developers against the earlier decision of the NSW Land and Environment Court, which invalidated the rezoning of land near Branxton.
The project site was gazetted in December last year as state significant under the former Labor state government, but the Sweetwater Action Group challenged the rezoning in the Land and Environment Court.
Today’s decision overturns the earlier ruling in favour of the Sweetwater group.
Huntlee developers LWP Property Group has welcomed the latest decision and said it would enable the assessment of the project’s first stage to proceed.
