Mount Gilead Stage 2 Residential Development - EPBC 2019/8587 Public Environment Report Exhibition

Lendlease Communities (Figtree Hill) Pty Limited is proposing to construct a residential development at Gilead, NSW. The overall development will be for residential land use and is planned to consist of low and medium density residential development of approximately 3,300 lots, retail and educational facilities and associated infrastructure, parkland, open space and biodiversity offset and environmental conservation areas.

The location of the action is Lot’s 1 & 2 DP 1218887, Lot 2 DP 249393, part Lot 5 DP1240836, Lot 2 DP603674 and Lot 1 DP603675 at Gilead, approximately 10 kilometers (km) south of Campbelltown, NSW. The Action Area is approximately 644 ha of which 259 ha will be developed and 236 ha will be registered as dedicated conservation areas. A further 149 ha will be retained as rural land, open space and existing easements.

The proposed action has been determined to be a “controlled action” under the EPBC Act and will therefore require assessment and approval by the Commonwealth Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water before it can proceed. The controlling provision under the EPBC Act is “Listed threatened species and communities” (Sections 18 and 18A) and the assessment approach is through preliminary documentation.

The draft preliminary documentation for this proposal includes the referral information and will be on public display from Monday 14th August to Friday 1st September 2023 at the following locations:

• Campbelltown City Library – 1 Hurley St, Campbelltown, NSW, 2560 and

• State Library of NSW – Macquarie St, Sydney NSW, 2000 

Note: Persons with any special needs may contact Eco Logical Australia on 1300 646 131 and ask for Robert Humphries for assistance in accessing the documentation.
