Letter: Disappointment at exclusion of Pindimar-Bundabah non-urban areas

At a meeting held between Great Lakes Council (GLC) Strategic Planner, Mr R Busby and Pindimar-Bundabah Community Association’s (PBCA) Representatives:

Dear MCNOTA,   At a meeting held between Great Lakes Council (GLC) Strategic Planner, Mr R Busby and Pindimar-Bundabah Community Association’s (PBCA) Representatives: Representatives expressed their disappointment to Mr. Busby that Non-Urban areas were not included in upgraded GLC, L.E.P. Mr Busby pointed out that it was amended to meet the directive of NSW State Government and the amendments did not involve or effect the current status of non-urban land. After lengthy discussion, he could not promise anything but would look into our previous suggestions/ sub-missions again. He said Sewerage and being in Flood Prone area are major problems. We advised that these issues could and should be addressed to allow progress on the re-zoning issue. At the moment there is a major problem with pollution on the Northern Foreshore from Bundabah Creek, Karuah River and other areas, including North Arm Cove. Mr. Busby explained that GLC proposed development from top of the hill on the Western side at Tea Gardens towards the Highway. PBCA representatives requested that GLC take the initiative and support our re-zoning request stating we could be classed as a suburb of Tea Gardens. It has been stated that Non Urban rates from Pindimar, Bundabah and North Arm Cove are keeping GLC solvent. A lot of letters/emails have been sent to GLC with no reply /acknowledgement. It was moved at the recent meeting that a letter is to be sent to GLC listing all outstanding matters.   Ian Treharne President of Pindimar-Bundabah Community Association
