Ken Sapwell

Tweed Mayor Joan van Lieshout was hailed the saviour of Hastings Point aft er her crucial vote at Tuesday’s council meeting secured new plan- ning controls for the village. Cheers and applause erupted from a packed public gallery when she used her vote to break a three-all deadlock to bring in a development control plan (DCP) for the town south of Cud- gera Creek and initiate a DCP for the northern part of the town. Th e new DCPs, along with a locality plan, will limit densities and reduce building heights from three storeys to two in a move to protect the village’s unique character and reduce pollution of the creek. More than 100 people waving placards crow- ded into the gallery and spilled out into the foyer to watch what was described as an historic decision which brings the shire’s smallest coastal village in line with Fingal and Pottsville. While 80-odd residents were wildly jubilant some 30 developers, landowners and tradesmen were visibly upset by the result which eff ectively blocks several multi-unit developments which were in the pipeline. In the fi rst real test of her leadership, Cr van Lieshout, who is married to a property mil- lionaire, surprised many when she came out in support of the community which had been A mixed bag of signs at Tuesday’s council meeting to decide the fate of Hastings Point.
