Back in the day, the process of notification for development applications was a public listing by Council in the local newspapers and personal letters to neighbours.

As the internet capability grew, newspapers ceased and so did the broadscale notification.

Advice from the State government is “Talking to your neighbours about your development proposal, big or small, is always a good idea and often saves a lot of trouble down the track.”

Local Council will “notify neighbouring landowners by letter (where applicable).”

There is a lot of wriggle room in these suggestions. What happens if the neighbour is not so talkative? What happens if Council doesn’t think notification is applicable?

The notification process has been so diminished that the CPPA now reviews the DAs in our area that are listed on Council’s website so that neighbours can be made aware. DAs that involve mutli-dwelling proposals are usually critiqued as well for community impact.

There have been several instances where the first a neighbour knew of a proposed development was via the Chronicle, their heartfelt thanks confirmed that the service we were providing was valued.

The Progress Association is not anti-development, we are very much in favour of sustainable development that aligns with community values and respects the residents and the bushland setting in which we have chosen to live. Unfortunately, these values are often not reflected when developers endeavour to maximise profits and the expense of the community in which the development is occurring.

With the recent changes in what is permissible in the low-density residential zoning, the DAs In Play may prove to be a very useful tool, especially as community infrastructure is limited or non-existent.

Council’s local to-do list

Councils recently adopted Delivery Program 2025-29 and Operational Plan 2025-26 has a few items on their to-do list for our community. The majority of actions are planning and design so we can only hope the plans come to fruition.

• Jetty replacement at public wharf, Wharf Street, Toronto 
• Toronto Lyle Peacock Oval grandstand and amenities replacement 
• Plan and design new shared path at Booragul to Toronto Greenway via Fennell Bay 
• Plan and design drainage improvements at Excelsior Parade 
• Plan and design new footpath at Excelsior Parade
• Plan and design Toronto Foreshore Master Plan
• Complete playground replacement at Keith Barry Oval, 
• Plan and design drainage improvements at 9A Killara Close 
• Plan and design road rehabilitation at Ambrose Street, Carey Bay from Excelsior Parade to Brighton Avenue

It’s been a few months since a DA update has been provided and so there has been a bit of action, which if you share a boundary you may know about, but if you don’t you find out sometimes when the trees start to fall.

Some of the DAs of note include the demolition of the two waterfront houses on Victory Row in the Terraces section of the Toronto Foreshore Park, a carwash proposal and extra parking at the Toronto Workers Club, an interesting one into subdivision at 83 Skye Point Rd (a duplex and house) and a big one at 133 Excelsior Pde (10 two-storey multi-dwelling units).

114-118 Cary Street

Land & Environment Court Hearing proposed for Cary Street residential development- (Victory Pde/Cary St lights, next to McDonalds).

Toronto Investments (applicant) has appealed to the NSW Land and Environment Court against the Hunter and Central Coast Regional Planning Panel’s refusal of Development Application No. DA/1651/2022 (114-118 Cary Street) for the construction of a mixed-use residential apartment building (108 units), following a breakdown of a Court-mediated conciliation process. The Court has now allowed the applicant to amend its DA and granted the applicant a hearing between 18-20 December.

Changes to the proposed building are mainly cosmetic, with the bulk, scale, size and heavy footprint essentially unchanged and it is still non-compliant under the Toronto Town Centre Area Plan. A more constrained, open development would help rather than hinder linkages with surrounds including the foreshore and Greenway and foster more active transport and leisure.

Whilst concerns about potential groundwater impacts on the adjacent SEPP 14 Toronto coastal wetland due to the proposed construction of a two level basement carpark have been somewhat addressed there are still uncertainties with modelling and field data.

Potential traffic-related impacts in surrounding streets and, particularly the Cary St/Bay St intersection, are not well addressed. Resident concerns about traffic congestion and safety have been largely ignored.

In-fill around town centres such as Toronto should be designed sensitively, without despoiling public amenity, natural and cultural heritage, appeal to residents and visitors, and a healthy environment and connection to our lake.

The Public are welcome to attend the on-site (Cary Street) meeting at 10.20 am on December 18 but will only be permitted to speak if previously registered. Council’s refusal position hasn’t changed. A community presence to support those immediately impacted as well as Council is something we can do to advocate against development by attrition, where community exhaustion weakens the capacity for the community to comment.

The issues mentioned in the August 2022 Chronicle remain ostensibly the same as outlined in previous Chronicles. https://coalpointprogress.blogspot.com/2022/08/da16512022-114-120-cary-street.html

DA Update

The 2 into 3 Lot subdivision of the block of land that runs from 2 Brighton Ave to 133 Excelsior Parade was recently approved. Hopefully the protection of the vegetated ridgeline which was a concern for so many locals will be the result.
