Hello,
I am supportive of this application as it reflects what already exists in this part of Bellingen - large lots but not overly large. The existing land size isn't big enough for any real rural purpose and by allowing a subdivision of this nature provides an opportunity to increase the population of Bellingen without needing to add additional infrastructure.
It has occurred to me that there is an addition subdivision being proposed across the road from here (in Scotchman Road). This would make five or six new properties all in this area. I also believe there is a house proposed to be built up the hill from this proposal, again in Scotchman Road.
I assume that all of these properties will need to establish some kind of OSMS - wouldn't it be useful to take advantage of all this activity now and connect Scotchman Road to the town sewer - this would have long term benefits for the health of our waterways and could be partially funded by the money these properties would have otherwise had to spend to setup their OSMS.
This comment has been sent but has not yet been acknowledged by the email server of Bellingen Shire Council. This can happen if our email system or Bellingen Shire Council's email system or network has a temporary problem.
Please check back in an hour or so. If the status hasn't changed you can contact us to figure out what's going on.
