Option to Expand Stroud Heritage Conservation Area (HCA) 
As part of the review process, and in response to the implications of the NSW Housing Code, Council is also investigating the possible expansion of the Stroud Heritage Conservation Area (HCA). This would enable certain historically significant parts of the Stroud Village not currently within the HCA to be afforded a higher level of protection from unsympathetic development.  Council is seeking community feedback during the exhibition of the draft DCP regarding the possible expansion of the existing HCA (refer to yellow outline in the attached map). Community opinion in regards to the proposed expansion will significantly guide Council's decision on this matter so your feedback is encouraged.

To assist the community in making submissions regarding the Heritage Conservation Area, the presentation and handouts (including a map of Stroud with the existing HCA) from the Community Meeting on 8 October 2009 have been attached to this page.

Public Information Sessions on the draft DCP and the proposed expansion to the HCA will be held during the exhibition period at the Stroud District Office by appointment. To make an appointment contact Council’s Rebecca Underwood on (02) 6591 7224 during business hours.
