Council Meeting

21/6/2015

Council is meeting on Tuesday 23rd June at 10am.

There are 2 major items that impact Broulee and Mossy Point Residents and I urge you to review their meeting Agenda on the council website.

The first item is a Planning Proposal to be endorsed by Council in relation to the development of the Bangalay Sand Forest adjacent to George Bass Drive (from Broulee Road to Train Street). Many of you will remember this development from last year where Council worked with the Developers to gain special sign off from the NSW Minister for Environment allowing the clearing of this threatened forest.

Among other things this new Planning Proposal seeks to further rezone this area to allow for R3 Medium Density Housing and to reduce the lot size to 450m2. These changes would enable the developers to yield 500 new dwellings. This would result in an increase of 40% to the size of Broulee which they estimate will increase the population from 2300 to 3700 (a 60% increase). They recommend that the rezoning to Medium Density Housing will allow affordable housing to be developed which will facilitate a more diverse resident population from different economic backgrounds. I recommend that you read the Planning Proposal on the link above for all of the rationales and benefits.

The endorsement of this Planning Proposal is the first step in the planning process which will include a 28day community consultation process in August. But we would strongly recommend that you read this planning proposal before Tuesdays meeting.

If you feel strongly about this plan you can attend the meeting at Council at 10am on Tuesday. If you would like to speak you must register before midday on Monday by phoning Carol Hodges on 44741358. Members of the BMPCA will be attending the meeting so please respond to this email if you would like us to raise a matter on your behalf.

The second item of interest for Broulee and Mossy Point members is that Council accept the Tenderer to replace the Candlagan Creek Bridge. With works proposed to be completed before the commencement of the school holiday period in December 2015. Whilst the bridge is under construction the bridge will be closed to all traffic. Pedestrian access will be maintained using a temporary footbridge. Council have stated that they will conduct a community meeting to provide updated timeframes.

My great grandparents have lived here. I am fourth generation to this area. The constant degradation of the area by overzealous development has been appalling, over the years. The scale of this development is an unprecedented leap towards a suburban sprawl that would irreparably damage the entire character of the area. Broulee would become another non-descript urban strip ruining Australia's coastal environment. The removal of more of Australia's dwindling coastal forest for this end is a profoundly deplorable act. This plan should be shelved permanently.

I hope this development doesn't go ahead. Medium density housing does not fit in with the character of Broulee. The removal of the strip of threatened coastal forest, which also provides an essential buffer between the school, residences and road should not happen at any cost. This development has the potential to destroy the character of our unique, coastal town.

I can't believe such a retrograde step is being considered. I have been a frequent traveller from Canberra for 70 years along the coast road to Broulee. Over the years I have observed with dismay the charmless sprawl of houses, shops etc from Batemans Bay to Broulee. Only about 10% of that section is not developed. To continue the destruction of bush and forest for the sake of commercial gain is mindless vandalism and is entirely unwarrented.
