DEAR News Of The Area,
HUNDREDS of residential units east of the railway line at the Jetty are the start but not the end of the NSW Government’s assault on the foreshore.
The plan also projects commercial and retail development “in balance” with the residential.
The residential development, apparently, is there to “provide economic sustainability” to the commercial and retail.
Behind the P.R. gloss and artist’s impressions lies merely a proposal to extend stock standard mixed-use urban development across the foreshore to Jordan Esplanade.
No amount of negative feedback seems capable of convincing the planners or our elected representatives that this is not what the community wants.
The planners are government employees acting under instruction.
The politicians are our employees and should be listening harder.
Regards,
Frank SCAHILL,
Coffs Harbour.
