On 5 May Council resolved with regard to the draft Plan that all land categorised as bushland under Section 36 of the Local Government Act, 1993 be zoned E2 Environmental Conservation. LEP 2008 Land Zoning Map has been amended accordingly. Council further resolved that the E2 zoning be supported by the outcomes of the Environmental Studies being conducted as part of the City of Ryde Local Strategy.
Mr Arthur White from Biosphere Environmental Consultants was engaged by Council in May 2009 to review all land categorised wholly or in part as bushland under Council's Plans of Management. Mr White has assessed each area for its suitability to be zoned E2 Environmental Conservation. Mr White was directed to take into consideration the Department of Planning's LEP practice note PN09-002.
Land categorised as bushland under Section 36 of the Local Government Act 1993 is provided below in maps and aerial photographs.
