DEAR News Of The Area,
THE Property Development NSW webinar regarding the proposed Jetty Foreshores redevelopment was an eye-opener. With the presenters talking a great deal about the extensive community consultation process that has been undertaken to date, one would have expected that the City of Coffs Harbour poll from September 2024 would get a mention.
But no – not a peep.
Over 33,000 people (68 percent of the electorate) voted against “multi-level private residential development” at the foreshores.
However, PDNSW do not consider this to have any relevance to their ‘public comment’ period for their proposal which includes exactly that – multi-level private residential development.
It is unbelievable the State Government will so blatantly ignore the clear opinion of the majority of the local people who will be impacted by their decision.
You only get to sell off a public asset once.
It is gone forever.
So, make a submission now and tell the State Government to keep public lands for the people of Coffs Harbour.
Regards,
Matthew HOLMES,
Korora.
