There certainly has been no lack of activity during our period of physical isolation!
Update since last mail out
- 44 Duncan St – in response to Council’s approval of 17 units on 44 Duncan St the Voice has instigated a petition asking that the approval be rescinded, and that the LEP be reviewed and amended. Unfortunately the advice that we could request a rescission motion wasn’t correct and a rescission motion will not be going ahead. Instead, we are focusing our efforts to see if we can liaise with Council to revise and fine tune the Local Environment Plan (LEP) relating to R3 zones. Since the letterbox drop on Sunday we have done two radio interviews (2ST and local ABC), the petition has gained over 1000 signatures, and we have 163 people following the facebook page. Many people have written to council expressing their extreme disappointment. We will endeavour to keep you updated through our emails, website and facebook.
- DS20/1119 a request to move the Anglican church to a location different to that in the approved DA has been withdrawn.
- Whilst restrictions have started to be lifted in NSW we have been advised that community centres are not yet opening in the Shoalhaven.
- The Voice has made submissions to Council related to the request to dismiss the noise conditions on DA19/1354, and request to move the historic Anglican church closer to the southern boundary.
SCC Planning documents for comment
- Shoalhaven City Council are reviewing and mapping the bushfire and COVID-19 recovery services that were and are available across the Shoalhaven LGA. In order to ascertain where there is a need for more services, better access to services or if other improvements are required, the Council has an anonymous survey which will close by Thursday 28 May 2020.
