Land at Cessnock, Paxton and Heddon Greta will be opened up for residential development under changes to one of the area's biggest planning documents.
The three areas include a 24 hectare former grazing precinct west of Heddon Greta, land on the northern fringe of Cessnock behind Dover Street and more than 44 hectares in Paxton Village.
No submissions were received in the public exhibition of the changes.
