Why this matters to us all?
Our Purpose:
Preserve the reserve and protect the Ridgeline from overdevelopment.
Our biodiversity corridor is under threat. Rumbalara Reserve is part of the COSS (Coastal Open Space System). The proposed increase in scope to the development at 70 John Whiteway Drive impacts many factors for residents and visitors. This development sits directly adjacent to Rumbalara Reserve, which the Central Coast has safeguarded for decades. This is now under threat due to politically driven, recently changed planning reform.
This development will dominate the skyline from Gosford, Kariong, and across the Central Coast. We need your help to prevent this inappropriate development, with multiple towers, towering the tallest two, over 12 and 13 storeys, over 100 metres high, Once it's built, the skyline, our local ridgeline, is gone forever.
To ensure Planning compliance with the established developments regulations:
Rules, what rules? The previously approved building on this site was 5 storeys. The new proposal is more than double the height and density of what was already approved after community consultation.
How you can help!
Make a submission:
This development is being fast tracked by the Minns Government's push for housing. Unfortunately environmentally sensitive sites like this are being caught in this wave.
Each unique submission point will need to be addressed by the developer, the more voices the better.
