Beverly Hills residents, landowners and businesses will have at least 28 days to comment on the Draft Beverly Hills Master Plan after Georges River Council’s Environment and Planning Committee endorsed it for public exhibition in a 12-1 vote.
The plan and associated studies will be exhibited before council receives a further report outlining submissions and recommending any amendments. Cr Ben Wang was the only councillor recorded against the exhibition motion.
The committee authorised the Director Environment and Planning to make minor editorial amendments before the exhibition begins. The exact exhibition dates have not been stated.
The exhibition is the next formal consultation stage for planning and development controls in Beverly Hills. Residents, property owners and businesses will be able to make submissions before council considers changes to the draft plan.

Cr Elaina Anzellotti, Cr Thomas Gao, Cr Gerard Hayes, Cr Leon Pun and Cr Ben Wang were recorded against that submission.
