Householder – New online map available
The Lord Howe Island Board has published a new online map to support access to planning and environmental information.
The map is now available on the Board’s website Public Web Map | Lord Howe Island Board
About the map
The online map provides a central point of access to key public spatial information used by the Board. It is intended to assist the community, particularly when creating development applications.
The map includes information such as:
- Lot boundaries and areas
- Layers from the 2010 Local Environment Plan (LEP), including zoning, Significant Native Vegetation, and Heritage Items
- Layers relevant to wastewater planning (wells, watercourses).
- An updated basemap using 2023 aerial imagery
- Other relevant spatial layers used in Board decision-making
The map also includes tools with guides to help users interact with these datasets, including measuring & drawing shapes, exporting printable maps and exporting datasets. Exported datasets may be used by qualified planners & surveyors in development applications.
Purpose
This resource supports transparency and improves access to information used by the Board in its statutory functions, including development assessment and environmental management.
However, this map is an information tool only and is not guaranteed to be free from errors or omission. It does not replace formal advice or statutory planning instruments, and independent verification of all information should be obtained by users of this map service, via qualified surveyors or planners.
Feedback and enquiries
If you have questions or feedback about the map, or suggestions for other spatial layers to be included, contact Sophie Powell GIS & Data Management Officer [email protected]
