Here is a quick update regarding matters that we referred to in the 22 May email, and information that has been sent through since:
Update since last email
- Joylands Carnival has resubmitted their development application and indicated that the extra time they have requested will be used to set up and close down only. We sent an email asking you whether your preference was for the carnival to stay in Huskisson or move to another location and the majority of response were to keep the carnival in Huskisson. If you made a submission to council regarding the carnival and their DA prior to 3 June, and you still want your points to be considered then unfortunately you will have to resubmit your comments (prior to 17 June). Eleven people emailed us regarding the carnival: 3 would like it moved, 6 would like it to stay and 2 didn’t have a strong opinion either way. No one argued for the time of operation to increase (and it won’t be).
- 44 Duncan St approval of 17 units. In an effort to understand how Shoalhaven planning allows this level of development the Voice met with the Council planners. Our notes from this meeting are here. We have a few more questions to ask Council and the Department of Planning. We will also begin thinking about how we can change the LEP.
- Comment is still open on the development application DA20/1453 for motel and apartments at Moona Moona Creek. Comments to be in by 3 July.
- The Coastal Management Program Scoping Study has been finalised and goes to the Council meeting on 9 June to be accepted.

- You may remember the Council employed a consultant to assess the character of Shoalhaven towns and villages. This was in response to the state government plan to require a character overlay on the planning zones. We contacted the planning department asking for an update and were told that ‘resources within the Department have been redirected to accelerate the assessment and determination of projects that inject investment into the NSW economy’ and therefore the character overlay project will be delayed.
- Crown land managers and community groups that use Crown land are invited to apply for a share of $14 million in grants under the NSW Government’s Crown Reserves Improvement Fund to upgrade and maintain community facilities and reserves across NSW. Applications are now open until July 10, 2020. The Fund supports maintenance and improvements to public reserves that provide green open recreational space and help protect our environmental diversity. It also maintains and upgrades facilities on Crown land that are used by organisations at the heart of our communities, like surf lifesaving clubs, the PCYC, Rural Fire Service and SES to name a few.
