A beautiful green space adjacent to Coila' Lake's unique and endangered ecosystem is under threat from dense housing development. The Eurobodalla council is giving you the opportunity to speak out about a dense new housing development that threatens one of the last green spaces on the Turos
s / Coila “isthmus”. This endangered and fragile saltmarsh ecosystem was approved for development in 1983 without modern environmental or cultural studies to assess its impact. We are calling on the council to ensure a Biodiversity Assessment Report is completed amongst other critical environmental checks. The development has lain dormant for over 35 years and whilst the world has advanced its views on the impact of humans on our environment, our council and governments have not. Their view is once approved, always approved! There are numerous issues in the proposed plans and they include:
1. Loss of trees - Removal of trees in the Reserve to create a Bushfire Asset Protection Zone.
2. Major alterations to the originally proposed plan including more houses and unapproved roads - we believe the developer needs to resubmit their DA
3. Access to the Golf course and mens shed / carpark closed by the new subdivision.
4. Unsuitability of the road pavement of Chauvel Cres/Monash Ave to handle increased traffic
5. Inappropriate use of Chauvel Cres (multiple blind corners) as a through road and as an emergency route.
6. Complete change in the character of Chauvel Cres/Monash Ave due to density & smaller lot sizes. How can you learn more? (1) Access information on the ESC website about development MDA0124/20.
