The remaining items were resolved en bloc (Clr Gartner/Clr Proudfoot) at this time. They are marked with an asterisk(*) in these Minutes. PRESENTATIONS OF PETITIONS Presentation of Petitions Clr Gartner presented a petition containing 814 signatures and 135 submission comments which states: We are local residents and deeply concerned about the over development of the Edgewater Motel Burrill Lake. The development of the Edgewater Motel will have adverse impacts on the lake foreshore, vegetation, ecological processes, public access, street parking, neighborhood character, visual amenity, and noise. The scope and scale of the proposal is too large for the site on which it is proposed. It is too high, blocky and without architectural features sympathetic to its site. The development will include a motel, restaurant, pub as well as a 4th floor outdoor roof top terrace which will have a huge impact on noise in the location of Burrill Lake. The proposal will cut off direct pedestrian access to the beach from the highway and other areas to the north-west which has been provided under the new highway bridge. Parking spaces of 75 are the requirements for this proposal, but only 52 are planned. Parking is at a premium for this area for people to access Burrill Lake beach, Holiday Haven Caravan Park and camping areas. Minutes Confirmed Tuesday 26 May 2020 – Chairperson .................................................... Minutes of the Ordinary Meeting 28 April 2020 Page 3 Many residents of Burrill Lake do not want to see our village turned into a Gold Coast. We need these types of developments left to urban areas that already have this type of development, not small villages like Burrill. I urge you to please support us in opposing/objecting to this development. We request Shoalhaven council bring this DA 19/2160 to a full council meeting for determination, due to its size, sensitive location and exceedance of council’s development controls. If we lose, this will set a precedent for similar developments to be built on the foreshore of Burrill Lake. We hope to encourage and get support from our local council to object to the size, scope and many impacts from this development. Please sign our petition. We need 1000+ signatures. http://chng.it/XML5TM9Jhttps://shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au/ DA19/2160 Note: Clr Gartner flagged her intention to raise an urgent item later in the meeting to call in DA19/2160.

  • Changes to Driver Licence Sanctions in Your CLSD Region
    Changes to Driver Licence Sanctions in Your CLSD Region In 2020, Revenue NSW introduced a hardship program focused on First Nations people and young people. As a result, the use of driver licence sanctions for overdue fine debt changed on Monday 28th September 2020 in some locations. How are overdue fines and driver licence sanctions related? If a person has overdue fines, their driver licence may be suspended. The driver licence suspension may be removed if the person: • pays a lump sum to Revenue NSW, or • enters a payment plan with Revenue NSW, or • is approved for a WDO. A driver licence suspension can be applied for multiple reasons, so even after being told that a driver licence suspension for unpaid fines has been removed, people should always double check that it is OK to drive by contacting Service NSW. Driver licence restrictions can also be put on interstate licences and cannot be removed easily. If you have a client in this situation, they should get legal advice. What has changed? Now, driver licence sanctions will not be imposed as a first response to unpaid fines for enforcement orders that were issued on or after 28 September 2020 to First Nations people and young people who live in the target locations. What are the target locations? Locations that the Australian Bureau of Statistics classifies as: • very remote, • remote • outer regional, and • Inner regional post codes where at least 9% of the population are First Nations People. Included target locations on the South Coast are the towns of Batemans Bay, Bega, Bodalla, Eden, Eurobodalla, Mogo, Narooma, Nowra Hill, Nowra Naval PO, Merimbula, Pambula, Tilba and Wallaga Lake.

  • The Ultimate South Coast Oyster Trail
    RESTAURANT AUSTRALIA | MEDIA INFORMATION THE ULTIMATE SOUTH COAST OYSTER TRAIL When it comes to unspoilt destinations, the NSW South Coast is postcard perfect. This meandering drive south from Sydney unearths an astonishing range of local wines, cheeses, vegetables and seafood – plus oysters as the star ingredient! Local hero: oysters The pristine lakes, rivers and ocean found here form a large chunk of Australia’s 300 km-long Oyster Coast – with farms sprinkled across the Shoalhaven and Crookhaven rivers, Clyde River, Wagonga Inlet and the lakes at Tuross, Wapengo, Merimbula, Pambula and Wonboyn. Local oyster farmers are committed to ensuring that these estuaries are among the most environmentally sustainable oyster-growing regions in the world. The local specialty is the Sydney rock oyster, one of the few indigenous oysters still being farmed anywhere in the world and prized for its intense and tangy flavour. DAY 1: SYDNEY TO MOLLYMOOK Morning Starting from Sydney, travel south along the coast past beautiful beaches around Wollongong, Shellharbour and Kiama to the Shoalhaven Coast wine region. The breathtaking beauty of the countryside, the beaches and towering escarpment ensure that the vineyards here are among the most beautiful in Australia. Each of the 18 vineyards in the region has cellar doors where you can try a wide variety of red and white styles. Visit Gerringong’s Crooked River Wines which takes in a landscape that literally stretches from the mountains to the sea; Two Figs Winery that sits proudly overlooking the Shoalhaven River and offers a simply breathtaking view; and Coolangatta Estate near Berry to taste their award-winning semillon.
