Tomerong Nature of change Lot 59 DP 816150 Changed part of site from Residential 4B Kells Rd 2(e)(Village) to E2 Environmental Conservation based on known constraints and current development consent for the site.

Vincentia Nature of change Town Centre Changed car park zoned Special Use 5(a) and adjoining Residential 2(c)(Living Area) land changed to B4 Mixed Use as the result of a rezoning request.

Attachment ‘B’ – Submissions Summaries

Tomerong No. Doc No. Name Submission Summary 135 D11/247448 Cowman Subject property: "Hell Hole" Blackbutt Range Rd, Tomerong (Portions 45, 58, 66, 102, 108 and 159). Stoddart Pty Ltd Objects to location of watercourse category one within the property - correct location detailed in submission.

Requests Council modify its mapping to reflect the true location of this watercourse so does not restrict or impede future development of this existing extractive operation.

Requests Council modify NRB layer to reflect the location of the existing and proposed extractive operations so that these provisions do not unnecessarily restrict or impede future development of this extractive operation and its associated resource. 396 D11/266783 Leslee James Wants to subdivide his land into 1 20 acre and 2 X 15 acres properties - 271 Turpentine Rd Tomerong 2540. 559 D11/268948 Roger Wong Objects to 40 hectare minimum lot size in greater Tomerong area up to village boundary, within 2km radius the minimum lot size should be 2 hectares (efficient land use).

There should be no further residential development within 5 kilometres from the seashore because of rising sea levels and beach erosion. The foreshore should be left for sensitive tourist day trip development, with residential development located 10km from seashore. 674 D12/21829 Graham and Objects to Lot 23 DP 755965, 142 Blackbutt Range Road, Tomerong being identified on the Biodiversity overlay as 'Habitat Corridor'. The Heather White western half of the site is mainly cleared and used for farming. The current 'land of ecological sensitivity' hatching over the land means that many agricultural uses that would otherwise not require consent need a development application. Requests that the 'habitat corridor' be removed from the biodiversity overlay for the site and also off the surrounding 1(c3) zoned area. CCB Tomerong Tomerong Community Forum 30 Community 146 Parnell Road, Tomerong (“Bellfields”) Lot 4 DP 775296 Forum Concerns; Present LEP and History. This property is a large holding 296.2ha [660 acres] adjoining smaller lot subdivisions and within the rural and village amenity of Tomerong. The subject land is currently zoned Rural 1D and has permitted uses relating to; Agriculture and Dairying Extractive Industries [as per buffer zone] concerned that the RU2 rural landscape zoning has 94 permitted uses.

Vincentia No. Doc No. Name Submission Summary 11 D11/258512 Alan Burrows Concerned with loss of neighbourhood shops at Vincentia.

Recommendation:

- The Vincentia Village shops are a vital community resource and no rezoning to B4 should be considered until a detailed Town Plan has been prepared for Vincentia and discussed with all landowners and the community.

- It follows that on a “best fit” basis, the existing 3(c) neighbourhood zone should be translated into B1 Neighbourhood Centre

- It seems incongruous that in a time of encouraged “energy efficiency” that the populations of Woollamia, Huskisson, Hyams Beach, Erowal Bay and Vincentia will be forced to drive up to 12km simply to reach a retail centre that previously was available in Vincentia … and for whose benefit, not for any of these communities.

Concerned that “best fit” is not the case with existing Vincentia (Burton Street) shops and the surrounding land which has all been rezoned B4 Business Mixed Use.

If it had been a best fit, The 3(c) Business, Neighbourhood would have been rezoned B1 Neighbourhood Centre not B4 Business Mixed

Use and the 2(c) Residential Living Area rezoned to R1 General Residential not B4 Business Mixed Use.

Apparently the request for this rezoning came from the largest business landowner on the block. There are 3 other owners of land zoned 3(c) and there are 23 blocks of land zoned 2(c). We are not aware that any of the other landowners were consulted and certainly the community were not consulted about this rezoning.

The shopping centre in Vincentia should have been zoned B1, Neighbourhood Shops, instead the area has been zoned B4 significantly benefiting the major landowner. - This is but one of a number of re-zonings that the previous Council has included in the Draft SLEP2009. In including a number of one-off re-zonings, Councillors have precluded community scrutiny and “given direction” to provide significant benefit to individuals. 2(c) residential area adjacent to the Vincentia Neighbourhood Shops should be translated into R2 low density residential in line with the development that has already taken place. 37 D11/259918 Anthony Request height of buildings foreshore area in Vincentia be 6 to 7.5 for other areas 8.5metres Blackmore The B4 zoning Burton Street shops, be changed to B1.

Vincentia No. Doc No. Name Submission Summary Before any land use changes a comprehensive town plan be prepared for Vincentia. 41 D11/255799 Antony Concerned with mixed use zone of the Burton St shopping centre - it will allow for the destruction of current shopping centre to be Bunyan turned into flats or other high rise structures.

Concerned that Council is obviously pandering to large business deals without regard for the local community - the centre of Vincentia is being pushed out to Lot 177 DP 1123782 to become a blight on the scenic beauty of the entire Jervis Bay region. 72 D11/233286 Bob Clark Huskisson information session was enlightening and positive experience.

Concerned with the proposed zoning for Vincentia Shopping Centre.

Believes that B4 is not an appropriate zone as this could lead to changes and the demise of the shopping centre, would like to see a more appropriate zone. D11/253976 Objects to Height limits and business zoning covering Burton Street in Vincentia. D11/258791 Understood the zoning of the Vincentia shopping area and surrounds included that Council's draft followed comments from one of the land holders. Council has now advised that this is incorrect and that it was comments from a previous owner. Therefore as this person or company has no vested interest in the shopping area, their comments should be excluded and Council should only consider comments from people who have an interest, including residents. 102 D11/262073 Caroline Objects to increase in building height of building in Vincentia foreshore and existing shopping centre. Objects to existing Vincentia Corrigan shopping centre being able to compete with the new development. 120 D11/258115 Christina Objects to the rezoning of the Vincentia shops as it will spoil the low key accessible lifestyle that appeals to visitors and residents. Pemberton Requests that a town plan for Vincentia be drawn up in consultation with the community. 160 D11/266985 David Vincentia Neighbourhood Shopping Centre Reynolds Should be B1 and HOB for B1 and B2 should be restricted to 8.5 metres. 202 D11/297816 G. Kemp Objects to Vincentia shops being zoned B4 restricting future retail uses and prohibiting dwellings. Recommend a comprehensive town plan be prepared for Vincentia in consultation with community. 225 D11/243158 Graeme Recently purchased property within Vincentia. Baldwin Objects to B4 zoning of Vincentia neighbourhood shops - existing zone should be retained and proposed zone will increase rents and push out existing small operators.

Bayswood Shopping Centre should be supplementary to existing shops. 255 D11/255603 Ian & Concerned with zoning changes and 11m Height limit for Vincentia Burton Street shops. Rosalind Vincentia No. Doc No. Name Submission Summary McCausland Residents deserve to be properly consulted. 270 D11/260382 J N Requests that foreshore land in Vincentia be set at 7.5 metres and the remainder of the village at 8.5 metres. Outterside & K M Chivers These limits must be in the LEP not left to the less enforceable and subjective DCPs.

Concerned with the proposed B4 zoning for the Burton St, Vincentia shops and surrounds, believes this only benefits its current owner who has now placed it on the market. 278 D11/259914 James & We disagree with the B4 zoning of the present Vincentia shopping centre and feel that it should be B1 instead. This centre should Aileen not be restricted by the B4 provision that it must not be allowed to compete with the District Centre. Many tourists and local Brown-Sarre residents enjoy the more relaxed shopping and dining etc. away from a large shopping centre. If the area is rezoned B4 and serviced apartments are allowed (to take advantage of the views offered) and the 11M HOB limit eventuates we can foresee large scale development of this type and the gradual buying up of the few detached dwellings with a massive increase in local traffic density

Re the HOB maps we feel that there should be an 8.5M height limit imposed except for foreshore blocks which should be 7.5M maximum. An 11M limit would be out of step with the character of the area. It would possibly cause friction and even legal claims if somebody’s expensive solar power generating or water heating system was compromised by a new dwelling or a building modification next door. 290 D11/258980 Janice M Requests that the limit on height of buildings in Vincentia for foreshore land be set at 7.5 metres and for all other land at 8.5 Howe metres and that this shown on the Height of Buildings map.

Requests that the Burton Street shops in Vincentia be changed from the proposed B4 to a like for like basis

Requests that a comprehensive Town Plan be prepared for Vincentia in consultation with land owners and the community to consider the long range effects of the new developments at the crossroads.

Lack of retail competition will not benefit local residents.

Businesses that impact on the Marine Park should be excluded from operating in the area. 298 D11/297813 Jeanette M Objects to Vincentia shops being zoned B4 restricting future retail uses and prohibiting dwellings. Recommend a comprehensive Kemp town plan be prepared for Vincentia in consultation with community. 316 D11/250796 John & Requests that the limit on height of buildings in Vincentia for foreshore land be set at 7.5 metres and for all other land at 8.5 Jennifer metres and that this shown on the Height of Buildings map. Hewitt Requests that the Burton Street shops in Vincentia be changed from the proposed B4 to a like for like basis.

Vincentia No. Doc No. Name Submission Summary Requests that a Town Plan be prepared for Vincentia via personal consultation with the community to consider the long range effects of the new developments at the crossroads. 324 D11/259151 John Vincentia Shopping Centre - Object to proposed zoning. Residential section should be R1 without an increase in building heights Bromage and the business shopping centre should be B1. 341 D11/258622 Judith The re-zoning on Elizabeth Drive Vincentia and surrounding area within the current retail area. This area should remain retail Edwards and not changed to residential. Woolworths should not have the power to be able to alter or affect other retail outlets in the vicinity.

If the zoning is altered to residential the retail area may be replaced with residential units up to 11 metres high, the Council needs to make up and release height maps of the shire. 348 D11/245730 K G & F G Objection to Burton Street shops zone B4 - not a 'best fit' transfer. Jones B4 zoning would enforce the decline of the village shops.

Concerned that residential flat building development similar to Huskisson will occur.

Requests Council to amend the zoning of the shopping precinct to B1 and R1 for the surrounding residential area.

Recommends R1, R2 and B1 zone should be mapped at 8.5m and 7.5m in foreshore areas.

Requests Council include appropriate HOB mapping for Vincentia residential and business zones. 380 D11/265413 L Turner The B4 zoning for Burton St shop should be B1. Need comprehensive consultation rezoning Burton St shops and residential flats in Vincentia.

Vincentia should be mapped separately from Shoalhaven demographics, as it is vastly different. 392 D11/252205 Leith The height of buildings in Vincentia remain unchanged with foreshore land being set at 6 to 7.5 metres and for all other land at Clayton- 8.5 metres and that this be confirmed in the new LEP (SLEP2009) with a Height of Buildings map; Brandt 2. That the new B4 zoning for the Burton Street shops be rejected and Neighbourhood Centre (B1 zone) with existing retail operations being allowed to continue; and

3. Before any land use changes are implemented, a comprehensive Town Plan is prepared for Vincentia in consultation with landowners and the community. 398 D11/262034 Leslie Concerned with Burton St shops, Vincentia mixed use zoning. Lockwood Believes there will be a need for neighbourhood facilities at the Burton St site once the large shopping centre at Vincentia cross Vincentia No. Doc No. Name Submission Summary roads is built.

Burton St site should not change to a mixed use zoning as gradually it will become dwellings and change the community hub to just another set of residential units.

There is the potential here to use the site for community activities that add to the well-being of a community such as a better community meeting place/hall. 423 D11/250842 Marjorie Believes that the draft LEP will completely change the future character of Vincentia and that this is being done without detailed Saunders community consultation.

Requests that:

1. The limit on height of buildings in Vincentia for foreshore land be set at 7.5 metres and for all other land at 8.5 metres and that this be confirmed in the new LEP with a Height of Buildings map.

2. That the B4 zoning for the Burton Street shops be rejected and the area be rezoned on a like for like basis.

3. That a comprehensive Town Plan be prepared for Vincentia in consultation with the community to consider the long range effects of the new developments at the crossroads and how the services needed and the character of the village can be maintained and enhance. 424 D11/262067 Mark Objects to B4 for Burton St shops Vincentia not a like for like as Corrigan B4 allows for tourist not retail should be B1.

R1 behind Vincentia High School (Lot 1 DP 270528) should be RU2 like around this site – it is in the middle of bushland with no access to services.

R1 height of building should be 8.5 need community consultation about such changes. There is no indication how the conditional allowance of 7.5 HOB foreshore will be dealt with. 441 D11/261211 Meg Bishop Concerned with the zoning of the existing Vincentia (Burton Street) shops and the surrounding land as B4 Business Mixed Use contrary to the best fit approach.

Rezoning came from the largest business landowner on the block. There are 3 other owners of land zoned 3(c) and 23 blocks of land zoned 2(c). We are not aware that any of the other landowners were consulted and certainly the community were not consulted about this rezoning. Request that no rezoning to B4 should be considered until a detailed Town Plan has been prepared for Vincentia and discussed with all landowners and the community. Request that on a “best fit” basis, the existing 3(c) business zone should be translated into B1 Neighbourhood Centre and that the height of Buildings restricted to 8.5 metres Vincentia No. Doc No. Name Submission Summary

The 2(c) residential area adjacent to the Vincentia Neighbourhood Shops should be R2 low density residential.

Unreasonable to penalise the shop keepers, effectively forcing them out of business through the inclusion of the Objective “To ensure that retail uses do not compete with the commercial core” as required under B4. 444 D11/260664 Michael & Strongly opposed to the LEP. Marianna Siciliano Believes Council plans to remove the shops on Burton Street would be an inconvenience, loss of independence for many of the elderly, increase need to use cars, totally change the face of Vincentia.

No confidence that the rezoning of the Burton Street shops to B4 will be restricted to mixed businesses, but more likely multi-storey apartments.

A beneficial improvement to the local area would be to add a library, perhaps adjacent to the Bay & Basin Leisure centre, allowing a multi-use space as well as full library facility.

Requests that: 1.The limit on height of buildings in Vincentia for foreshore land be set at 7.5 metres and for all other land at 8.5 metres and that this be confirmed in the new LEP (SLEP2009) with a Height of Buildings map;

2.That the new B4 zoning for the Burton Street shops requested by a developer be rejected and the area be rezoned on a like for like basis with existing retail activities being allowed to continue; and

3.A comprehensive Town Plan be prepared for Vincentia in consultation with land owners and the community to consider the long range effects of the new developments at the crossroads.

Congratulates Council on the improvement of our path extensions & improvement along Collingwood beach. 473 D11/260226 Nikki Stahl Concerned with the change in the nature of Huskisson/Vincentia from a “sleepy holiday village area” and requests that:

1. The limit on height of buildings in Vincentia for foreshore land be set at 7.5 metres and for all other land at 8.5 metres and that this be confirmed in the new LEP (SLEP 2009) with a Height of Buildings map. 485 D11/265469 Pat & Alan Objects to rezoning of Vincentia shops. Kline Supports the Vincentia Ratepayers and Residents association submission.

Need a comprehensive town plan prepared for Vincentia in consultation with community. 504 D11/262122 Peter & Requests that the Burton Street shops in Vincentia be changed from the proposed B4 to a like for like basis. Margaret Osterloh Requests that a comprehensive Town Plan be prepared for Vincentia in consultation with land owners and the community to consider the long range effects of the new developments at the crossroads. Vincentia No. Doc No. Name Submission Summary

Concerned that other landowners were not advised of the rezoning and this was a request from the largest business landowner on the block.

Not convinced that the Vincentia Village shops will need to be developed after the Vincentia District Centre is built - needs to be considered urgently undercover of SLEP2009 for the following reasons:

- The Vincentia District Centre (VDC) has been approved but construction has not started and it is unlikely to be open for business until late 2013 at the earliest;

- It will take some time to determine what existing businesses in Burton Street can compete with the VDC and number of vacant premises resulting;

- The existing tenancies at Burton Street are unlikely to expire for 3 years, or with options, perhaps longer;

- There are many controversial issues to consider under SLEP2009 and this rezoning which has far reaching consequences will not be given the importance it deserves;

- There has been no community consultation.

Concerned that the two principal current uses of the area, retail and dwellings will be restricted or no longer be allowed under a B4 zoning.

Concerned that similar residential flats or serviced apartments in Huskisson will be developed at Vincentia.

Concerned that the development of a high rise enclave in the centre of Vincentia would be completely out of character with Vincentia and the needs of the community.

Concerned that the effect on landowners in the adjacent R1 zone of rezoning the shops has not been considered by Council. D11/262122 Concerned with Clause 4.1A - the R2 zone in Vincentia should be excluded from clause 4.1A. 522 D11/247417 PRM Supports B4 zone for Lot 1 DP 741946 Cnr Burton Street and Elizabeth Drive in Vincentia - particularly residential apartments above ground Architects floor to increase surveillance of existing centre.

Supportive of B4 zone objectives.

Requests Council include Tourist and Visitor Accommodation as a permitted use in the B4 zone.

Recommends that site be mapped as building height of 11m and FSR of 1:1.2. 526 D11/262080 R C & D M Objects to B4 zoning for Vincentia shops as this will take away their shopping centre and would impact on the community centre. Hanlon 539 D11/264090 Rhoderick & Concerned with the impact of the LEP on the Burton St shops at Vincentia . Vincentia No. Doc No. Name Submission Summary Jacqueline McGhee 547 D11/258638 Robert John Concerned with the rezoning of the current retail area on Elizabeth Drive, Vincentia. Objects to this area being rezoned to residential and Edwards believes it should remain retail.

Believes that a change in zone will mean the retail area may be replaced with residential units up to 11m. 561 D11/260008 Rosemary Requests height of buildings in Vincentia remain unchanged with foreshore land being 6 to 7.5metre and all other land 8.5metres. Blackmore Requests that the B4 zoning for Burton Street Shops at Vincentia be changed to B1. 578 D11/265450 Shelley Supports the submission made by the Vincentia Ratepayers and Residents Association. Hancock 579 D11/255859 Shirley Denyer Supports the Vincentia Ratepayers association in regard to rezoning the village shops and the need for community consultation prior to rezoning. Requests that a comprehensive town plan be prepared for Vincentia in keeping with its village character. FL Form Letter 20 – 10 copies received 20 Requests that the limit on height of buildings in Vincentia for foreshore land be set at 7.5 metres and for all other land at 8.5 metres and that this shown on the Height of Buildings map.

Support a comprehensive town plan and community consultation. CCB Hyams Beach Hyams Beach Villagers Association 14 Villagers a) Vincentia shopping centre B4 instead of B1 Association

CCB Jervis Bay Jervis Bay Regional Alliance Inc 17 Regional Community members of the Jervis Bay region have been concerned to see the SLEP zoning for the Burton St Shopping Centre at Alliance Inc Vincentia. The proposed zone of B4 Mixed use would see a total change in the character of Vincentia. The area should be given the correct zoning to reflect ‘best fit’ from the LEP 1985. If there are changes to be made in the future Vincentia No. Doc No. Name Submission Summary then the community should be given the opportunity to comment. The recent ‘For Sale’ notification was inappropriate and pre-emptive and horrified residents to see the what could be planned for their area without proper community consultation.. Recommendation: The residential section adjacent to and surrounds of the Burton St shopping centre should be zoned R1 General without an increase in building height limits permitted. Recommendation: The business/shopping centre should be zoned B1 Neighbourhood Centre as would be fittingly transferred from its existing zone of 3c. CCB SLEP 2009 SLEP 2009 Review Group 28 Review Believes the shopping centre in Vincentia should have been zoned B1, neighbourhood shops instead of B4 to benefit the major Group landowner. Concerned with the zoning change of Vincentia Neighbourhood shopping centre being changed to B4, mixed development, at the request of the major landholder of the centre. Not only is the recent announcement that Stocklands’ holdings in the Vincentia Neighbourhood shopping centre are for sale, referencing the change in zone to B4 in the sales information, but that this change will dramatically and very adversely impact the residential amenity of Vincentia. Equally the SCC imposed condition that restricts competition with the “local retail centre” (the District Centre) will effectively force the neighbourhood shops out of existence. A rather unfortunate outcome of a one off rezoning that has not had community scrutiny. Recommendations; - The restrictions on B4 and B5 are not precise, clarification is required - Vincentia neighbourhood shops should be zoned B1, Neighbourhood Shops CCB Vincentia Vincentia Ratepayers & Residents Association 33 Ratepayers create Height of Buildings Maps for all land in Vincentia showing heights of no greater than 8.5m (two storeys). & Residents Expects Council to honour its intention to map 8.5m for R2 and RU5 and 7.5m foreshore land but believes that this does not go far enough as this limited mapping with result in a complete change in the character of Vincentia which is not acceptable. Do not consider DCPs to be a viable alternative to mapping heights in the LEP. Concerned that the Council resolution to map the Height of Buildings at 8.5m in the R2 and RU5 zones will result in a complete change in the character of Vincentia and is not acceptable. Concerned that Council's approach to heights is different from other councils which have Height of Building maps for all their land. R1 zone - area around the shops from Minerva to Edward Street Vincentia. R2 zone - Most of Vincentia including Bayswood B2 - Vincentia District Centre B4 - Proposed for Vincentia Village shops and surrounding areas RE1 - Plantation Point and some other areas (see maps in submission) E2 - Captain Street around Bayswood and some other areas (see maps in submission) E4 - include in LEP. (details of suggested changes provided in submission). Vincentia No. Doc No. Name Submission Summary

Believe that the desired future character of Vincentia should be determined through community consultation and the development of a town plan.

Subdivisions - Request that the R2 zone in Vincentia should be excluded from clause 4.1A Request that Vincentia Floor Space Ratios be mapped so that landowners are provided with certainty. Believes that the desired future characteristics of Vincentia should be determined after community consultation and the development of a Town Plan not be arbitrary changes made under cover of SLEP 2009. Vincentia District Centre Currently controlled by the Department of Planning & Infrastructure Part 3A consent but is to be absorbed into SLEP2009. Zoning of R2 and B2 are ok.

Requests that all of Lot 14 DP 1045217 be zoned as “Sensitive Area-Habitat Corridor” and “Sensitive Area-Significant Vegetation”. 120 D11/258115 Christina Requests that the land adjacent to Moona Moona Creek be preserved and purchased by National Parks.

- It is a natural water way that is full of marine life including mangroves, crabs, prawn and fish hatchlings and birdlife including the Azure Kingfisher, - this land is identified as Floodway - the removal of large areas of vegetation on a floodway is known to exacerbate flooding which will have a detrimental effect on the existing residents. - Increased water diversion into the tidal tributary will intensify the risk to current residents

Edendale St Woollamia

Requests rezoning of Lot 14 DP 1045217, also known as the northern side of Edendale St Woollamia. Requests rezoning to RU2 Rural Landscape in alignment with the block it was originally subdivided off and the surrounding environment.

Being zoned village there is provision for an increase in the number of houses allowed resulting in doubling the village population. This would completely change the amenity and living environment for the residents of Woollamia.

The block is a floodway and is therefore inappropriate to build on.

The block should be identified as Sensitive Area- Habitat Corridor’ and ‘Sensitive Area- Significant Vegetation’ due to its environmental diversity and habitat to species listed as vulnerable.

The block is significant old growth mature coastal forest, possibly Endangered Ecological Community. 388 D11/261347 Leanne Comments on erection of dwelling houses and subdivision on Honecker Lots 43-67, inclusive, DP 9289, Streamside Street, Woollamia, and lots 68, 68A, 68B, 69 and 69A inclusive, DP 15266, Streamside Street, Woollamia and comments about tributary Edendale Street.

I Request rezoning of the Lot 14 DP 1045217, also known as the northern side of Edendale St Woollamia not be Zoned Village but RU2 Rural Landscape in alignment with the block it was originally subdivided off and the surrounding environment.

Being Zoned Village there is provision for an increase in the number of houses allowed the land is floodway, sensitive area habitat and vegetated EEC and adjacent to Aboriginal heritage. 398 D11/262034 Leslie Concerned with Woollamia area - habitat corridors over the years have been eaten into and are now no longer contiguous. We Lockwood need to preserve small important pieces and lot 14 DP 1045217, Subdivision on North side of Edendale St is one. It needs to be recognised as a sensitive area habitat corridor with significant vegetation and zoned to give the appropriate environmental protection.

As a riparian corridor and vital link to the wetlands behind the village it must be identified for the information of all those who live/potentially wish to live in the area.

At the eastern end of Edendale Street, Lot 7309 DP1153643, Lot 1 DP 510429 needs a heritage zoning to protect the Aboriginal middens there. 419 D11/260495 Margot Due to the environmental significance of Lot 14 DP 1045217, Edendale St Woollamia, requests that the entire block up to the Curtis roadway is recognised as having ‘Sensitive Area- Habitat Corridor’ and ‘Sensitive Area- Significant Vegetation’ Zoning/ identification. 527 D11/258929 R D & E A Requests that the Natural Resource Sensitivity of the adjacent land be extended to include Lot 14, DP 1045217 in Edendale St Woollamia. Chick The recognised zonings as stated in the SLEP on Lot 14 – “Sensitive Area – Habitat Corridor” and “Sensitive Area – Significant Vegetation”, are the same as on adjacent lots, yet the NRB map in the SLEP does not show this.

Woollamia/ Falls Creek No. Doc No. Name Submission Summary Correct this anomaly, and amend SLEP maps to show this.

Lot 14 is just as important to the Woollamia village environment as adjacent lots, and should therefore be included in this category. D11/258930 Resident of a heritage listed property – Strathroy - 759 Woollamia Rd, Woollamia, idenified an anomaly in the Draft SLEP.

In Schedule 5 property is numbered 1523, however on the Heritage Map it is noted as 1522. Similarly for item 1522 in Schedule 5 which is noted as 1521 on the map. Maybe there is a sequencing error somewhere? D11/258 933 Request that the essential existing watercourse which traverses between the Woollamia wetlands, under Woollamia Rd and Edendale Street, to Currambene Creek, should be identified on the Natural Resources Sensitivity – Water map.

This is a natural watercourse (not a drainage easement or man made course), and is essential for the healthy maintenance of the Woollamia wetlands; it houses a great diversity of natural bird and marine life, including mangroves, crabs, prawns, juvenile fish and birdlife. 537 D11/255086 Rebecca Hall Objects to no environmental value being placed on Edendale St, Woollamia.

Edendale St is a sanctuary and corridor for native species. Consideration should be given to flora and fauna, potential flood hazards and recognise Edendale Creek. 558 D11/265843 Roger Hart Edendale Street – North side – Lot 14 DP 1045217 - this area of Sclerophyll forest is zoned for development – it contains important habitat for Yellow Bellied Gliders – currently listed as Vulnerable in NSW. The site is also occasional habitat for Glossy Black Cockatoos. This area should be zoned as E2 and clearing not permitted. Tongue of land Zoned RU2 at the northeast end of Sunnyside Avenue - land is environmentally sensitive and is important tidal wetland of Currambene Creek and Jervis Bay. It should be zoned E2. Tidal Tributary of Currambene Creek at Edendale Street - this should be included on the Natural Resources Sensitivity Water map as a tidal stream and protected from development by retaining an appropriate buffer zone of 40 metres of natural vegetation. 570 D11/259977 S & B Salajec Supports the proposed R5 zoning at 50 Mortimer Rd, Falls Creek.
