At the meeting a spokesperson for nearby residents, Reg Crick, outlined the non-compliance issues, the building bulk is exceeded by 32.5% and the height exceeds the planning guidelines by 2.2m
“No where along the entire shores of Lake Macquarie is there a building or project that even goes close to resembling the bulk, height and scale that is proposed by this current application. We dispute that the variations on bulk and height are justified as being ‘in the public interest’. How can the proposed variation of a massive 32.5% be in the public interest when it will constrain the visual and recreational amenity of Toronto and the Lake Macquarie foreshore forever?”
The lack of notice provided to the community of the pending determination was another reason for calling of the site inspection which will be held 4:30pm, Thursday 20/9/18 on the site.
The final determination will go before the Councillors at the next council meeting on Monday 24th September, at 6:30pm.
There will be a public forum address at 5:30pm as well. A great opportunity to see how the machinations of local government play out.
