Report No. 13.2 PLANNING
- 26.2013.2.1 - Ewingsdale Seniors Housing and Commercial Uses Planning
Proposal
File No: I2015/1582
|
|
|
Moved: That Council not
proceed with the amended planning proposal for Lot 101 DP 1140936 in
Ewingsdale, for the following reasons:
a) the
proposal has been exhibited twice and community feedback on both occasions
has been mostly opposed, with the top issues being traffic and congestion,
impacts on Ewingsdale character and quality of life, density and height of
buildings, and excessive number of dwellings;
b) lack
of a holistic review of the Ewingsdale locality, of how this site will
influence the future of Ewingsdale or of how it will interact with the new
urban area at West Byron;
c) lack
of consideration of highest and best use of the land, as will be provided
when an urban growth strategy is completed in the near future (shire-wide
Residential Strategy);
d) the
number and degree of changes now needed to the Planning Proposal (as outlined
in in Report 13.2 to today's Ordinary meeting) resulting in a Proposal which
is substantially different from the original Proposal. (Cameron/Richardson)

Moved: That Council recognise:

the so-called 'adaptive strategy' in the draft CZMP of rockwalls now and

north-west of the end of the seawall.

the draft comprising Attachments 2 to 6 of today's Report 13.5 is not a
complete draft of a Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) for the Byron Bay
Embayment.
3. that
the Cost Benefit Analysis for this draft uses present real estate values which
have risen 40% in recent years and that this rise may reflect anticipation of a
CZMP favourable to real estate speculation. (Dey/Richardson)

1. That

those with licenses showing residences in Lennox Head, Clunes, Newrybar and
Rosebank/ Repentence Creek.

implications of not requiring e-permit holders to use meters.
b)
METER: turnover/use; permit (free) Vs paid use; merchant fees;
use/demand of printing tickets; faults and complaints; revenue - cash Vs
card; additional costs beyond contract; value of comprehensive maintenance

line, number of automated faults, response times, time to fix a fault, etc.
Language selected and issue of ‘sleeping’ meters to save battery.
c) INFRINGEMENTS:
review pre and post pay parking infringement type, number issued and revenue;
types of meter infringements; Road Rules and related implications (if
any).
d)
TIME LIMITS: review adequacy and mix; survey/review areas that
are subject of requests received; consider changes in holistic fashion not
via ad-hoc changes with report to Local Traffc Committee/Council.

CHANGES: for example dedicated motorcycle spots, use/demand/options for
Butler Street Reserve and other all day areas, such as change from 4P to all
day at Lawson Street south and north car parks.

areas within the Byron Bay parking envelope.
g) PERIPHERY:
consider the impact of paid parking on non-metered areas on the periphery of
