Be alert to development application plans

On behalf of the Save Our Woy Woy Group, I ask all of Woy Woy residents to be alert to the outcome of development application number 54551.

Currently it is back with the applicant to prepare new plans favourable with the surrounding area.

The new plans have not come back to Council as of September 6.

However, the Group is prepared for the new plans and will act accordingly if the issues have not been addressed.

Just to update the residents of Woy Woy, the issues are that the proposed development is over height (maximum height 11.5m), over the required FSR (floor space ratio) zoned for 85 per cent, has stormwater issues, parking and traffic issues.

It has issues with traffic coming out onto Blackwall Rd, traffic issues getting back into the complex, visitor parking on the nature strip of Farnell Rd, shadowing on adjoining residential properties, privacy for some of the residents in Farnell Rd and other significant issues as well.

If you wish to get more information you can go to the Central Coast Council website and follow the link "Tracking a Development Application" and insert the number 54551 where applicable.

If you want, you can become a follower of our Facebook page "Save Our Woy Woy" or contact harveymcdougall1@gmail.com and add your name to our mailing list.

We prefer that you are a resident of Woy Woy because then you are possibly going to be affected by this development if it proceeds.

We will need support from all of you, even if it is only moral support.

The more the better.

We will be planning more meetings soon so keep a watch out for that information.
