Dalmeny Matters Planning Inquiry Submission

Up and down the coast, the NSW Government has given developers the green light to bulldoze thousands of hectares of bushland for development. From Tura Beach on the far south coast to Kingscliff in the Tweed, inappropriate and unsustainable developments are being considered by councils and Regional Planning Panels. It’s clear that the NSW planning system is failing communities and the environment and needs serious reform. 

The developer was sold 43.6 hectares of bushland in Dalmeny from the Eurobodalla Council in September 2021 for residential development. The development area is zoned for R2 Low Density Residential which Council have confirmed won’t include affordable housing. Council is developing a masterplan and Development Control Plan (DCP) for three privately owned lots, which together total about 100 hectares.

The impacts of this planned development includes the damage to the flora and fauna such as the yellow-bellied glider and glossy black cockatoos, and located in the catchment zone of Mummaga Lake.
