Specifically, the amendment is required to ensure alignment with the new ‘deemed’ and ‘model’ land use classes and general definitions introduced into the state planning framework. Most significantly, it includes amendments to reflect the ‘deemed’ land use classes for ‘hosted short-term rental accommodation’ and ‘un-hosted short-term rental accommodation’, along with removal of superseded land uses. The attached report provides further detail and background information on these changes, including specific implications for the Town.
