Bathurst Regional Council is seeking suitably qualified and experienced consultants to quote on the development of a master plan for the Laffing Waters residential development precinct and associated neighbourhood activity centre. Laffing Waters is a key urban release and growth area for the City of Bathurst.

The subject area is approximately 360 hectares within the Laffing Waters area of Bathurst. This area is an identified urban release area and is planned to have a mix of residential, commercial and community uses (including a school) incorporated into the precinct.

Council aims to be a leader in the future development of land and showcase the opportunities available to other landowners for the development of their land with high quality residential and neighbourhood business development, incorporating the principles of Clause 6.3 of the Bathurst Regional LEP 2014.
