Click on photos  to see larger images below WCC Recommendations It is recommended that a planning proposal be prepared to amend the Wollongong Local Environmental Plan 2009 by: • Zoning the Crown land E2 Environmental Conservation; • Zoning a buffer around Wilsons Creek E2 Environmental Conservation; and • The Sydney Catchment Authority land be zoned E2 Environmental Conservation Further consultation occur with Sydney Water to determine whether water and sewerage services can be provided to this precinct, at the land owners expense. If services can be made available then a draft planning proposal to amend the Wollongong Local Environmental Plan 2009 to permit additional dwelling houses could be prepared, including: • Amending Schedule 1 to permit a dwelling house on existing holdings (one or more lots in the same ownership) zoned E3 Environmental Management. • Zoning lots 16 to 23 DP8203 (8 lots) Rajani Road E4 Environmental Living and allow a dwelling house on each. No subdivision of the lots be permitted.

However I disagree to the E3 Environmental Management Zone that allows adwelling house on the vacant lots.   The proposed 8 lots on Rajani Road do not meet the minimum lot sizes of the 2009 LEP E3 zoning nor of the former 7D lot size. All this area must be E2 because of Wilson's Creek, a major tributary of Helensburgh Dam and Hacking River. This was the reason for the 7dclassification to protect the environment. Nothing has changed in thatenvironment to remove protection. This precinct would also be a wildlife corridor adjacent to the Garrawarra State ConservationArea and therefore should not be allowed to be endangered. Thereis no sewerage or water supplied to this precinct as indicated in thereview. Any works carried out in regards to this will alter the contextof the land involved thus placing significant stress on the creek asalso indicated in the WCC Preliminary Review (page 48, para3&4).This would also be true of any extra housing and clearing ofsurrounding currently protected bush land. This is also inconsistentwith the SCA land principles as shown in the review. There is ample opportunity within the Helensburgh residential footprintto purchase vacant land or a residence. Therefore I object to any change in zoning for this precinct that is not E2.
