Jamberoo housing plan remains on show
The
exhibition period for a planning proposal that could allow rural land
at Jamberoo to be rezoned for seniors housing has been extended.
The
concept plan for the development, proposed for a 7.8 hectare Wyalla
Road property close to the Allowrie Street roundabout, includes 30
Torrens title housing lots restricted to those aged 55 and older and 22
detached residential housing lots.
The
proposal, by Peter Taranto's Huntingdale Developments, needs the
subject land to be rezoned from RU2 Rural Landscape to R2 Low Density
Residential and E3 Environmental Management.
Kiama
councillors backed the rezoning proposal in March, arguing the
development would help the council increase seniors housing in Jamberoo.
In
October the Department of Planning and Infrastructure issued a "gateway
determination" clearing the way for the council to proceed with the
exhibition of the planning proposal.
Due to the Christmas/New Year period, submissions and comments will now be received until January 17.
The
planning proposal and supporting documentation can be viewed at Kiama
Council's administration building in Manning Street, the Kiama Library,
or the council's website.
In 2008 Kiama
Council won a long-running Land and Environment Court case over Crighton
Properties which had plans for a 195-unit seniors living development in
Jamberoo.
