I
reject the zoning proposals by the Administrators of Wollongong City
Council to the lands surrounding
Symbio Wildlife Park, the golf driving range, & garden nursery,
and I request that precinct continue to be zoned SP3
Tourist, with additional animal training and boarding..
I
object to the adjacent and surrounding zoning of lands as B6
Enterprise Corridor, including but not limited to Baines Places,
Lawrence Hargraves
Drive and Princes Highway.
.
-
The majority of
traffic flow to Symbio, Bald Hill lookout, & the start of the
Grand Pacific Drive, either as a destination or impromptu, is
via
the F6 ramp - roundabout gateway on the Princes Hwy. The
proposed
enterprise corridor that allows new development ranging from brothels
to heavy machinery depots and used car yards with flashing neon signs
is not in keeping with the historical village ambience nor the tourism
gateway to the south coast. Such development will deter
tourists and swamp Symbio Wildlife Park in a sea of bitumen and
concrete bunkers.
-
High noise and
negative environmental impact from adjacent new industry could affect
the breeding programs of endangered animals from the Cotton-top Tamarin
monkeys to the soon arriving Sumatran tigers.
-
Any zoning other than SP3 Tourist will risk
the wildlife park and its animal breeding programs, of closure because
of
the stringent government regulations governing the keeping of such
animals.
For
the balance of the lands under review, we would like to
register our
approval of the Otford Protection Society Incorporated’s Planning
Proposal dated 30 April 2010 for ALL
the previously zoned 7d lands to E2 Environmental Conservation, which
also includes exit strategies for landowners.
Yours faithfully |
