NSW halts small-lot subdivision on border
The NSW Minister for Planning and Environment Sir John Fuller announced a holding measure increasing minimum lot size in Goodradigbee Shire major non urban zones from 40 to 400 hectares. The rule aims to protect pastoral lands and enable coordinated growth planning with the Commonwealth for Canberra.

The Goodradigee Shire Clerk praised the move if properly implemented and consulted, noting a separate subdivision appeal for 31 forty-hectare lots near Jeir on Barton Highway.
