Council staff have been working with the Wamberal Protection Association (WPA) residents group to progress a seawall development application.
Council will enter into an agreement with WPA as a partnering landowner on Wamberal Beach.
Council staff supporting delivery of this project in partnership with the WPA will not participate in development assessment, with strict protocols being established to ensure Council’s role as a proponent and assessor.
The above information comes from the latest minutes of the Catchments to Coast Committee meeting, held on Wednesday March 29.
There’s a lot to read in those minutes, on topics such council’s Draft Climate Change Flood Risk Policy.
The committee also heard about Land and Environment Court ruling which overturned a Local Planning Panel (LPP) decision to refuse a swimming pool consent along the coastal building line. The question was asked: How does Council plan to respond?
The committee was told:
The Development Control Plan (DCP) will be updated for consistency across the Central Coast and to remove any ambiguity.
“This is a work in progress as there will be a changed DCP, which will then to be exhibited for 28 days. Proposed timeframe is March 2024.”
Other topics in the minutes include council’s Draft Climate Change Flood Risk Policy and news that Council was a Winner of Keep Australia Beautiful Award – Sustainable Communities – Tuggerah Lakes.
