Lugarno right of way held over future land-use information
The proposed access over land associated with Taylors Reserve, Lugarno, will return to Georges River Council after the applicant provides information about the benefiting land’s intended future use and development.
The proposed right of way at Taylors Reserve, Lugarno, will return to Georges River Council in August after the Finance and Governance Committee deferred consideration and requested more information about the benefiting land’s future use and development.
The committee’s unanimous decision concerns a proposed right of way over Lot 2 in DP1200178 in favour of Lot 1 in DP506903. The applicant must provide the additional information before the August 2026 Ordinary Council Meeting.
No final decision has been made on the access proposal. The committee did not approve or reject the right of way, leaving the matter unresolved for land associated with Taylors Reserve.
The requested information is intended to assist Council’s consideration of how the benefiting land is intended to be used and developed. The supplied record does not identify the applicant, describe the proposed access route in detail or state whether a development application has been lodged.
For residents near Taylors Reserve, the immediate outcome is that no change to access or development rights has been approved through the committee’s decision. No new charge or direct service change was identified.
The matter was listed as FIN030-26, Proposed Granting of the Right of Way over Taylors Reserve Lugarno. Councillors Kathryn Landsberry and Mort moved the recommendation, which was carried unanimously.
The committee also recommended that the Investment Report as at 30 June 2026 and the Quarterly Commercial Property Portfolio Report for April to June 2026 be received and noted. Those items did not alter the right-of-way proposal.
The committee further recommended adopting proposed carryovers of unspent 2025/26 Capital Works Program allocations into the 2026/27 program, and recommended adopting the draft Artificial Intelligence Policy after noting community consultation results. Neither recommendation resolved the access question at Taylors Reserve.
