http://www.pittwater.nsw.gov.au/yoursay/current/scotland_islandtraffic_management_plan_projects https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Scotland_Island The submission period is open for six (6) weeks to allow residents to review both proposals and to comment. Letters will also be going out to all property owners with a request that they respond as to whether they support one, both or neither of the two proposed TMPs, using the included questionnaire (a condensed version of questionnaire on Council’s web site). The questionnaires should be returned to Council in the reply paid envelope supplied, as only responses by property owners will be considered when assessing the level of support for the proposed Road Closure (traffic) TMP that may directly impact their properties. All comments received by Council in respect to both TMPs will be considered and owners of properties are encouraged to also complete the full questionnaire (includes questions relating to demographics, vehicle use and consultation feedback) on Council’s web site Should you have any queries please contact Paul Davies 9970 1177 or email paul_davies@pittwater.nsw.gov.au 
The Director-General of the NSW Department of Planning & Infrastructure has supported a recommendation by the Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP) to refuse a planning proposal submitted by the Meriton Group in Warriewood. The planning proposal was for a rezoning of Meriton-owned land in McPherson Street and Warriewood Road Warriewood. It proposed a development of more than double the density agreed by the Strategic Review of undeveloped land in the Warriewood Valley. The Warriewood Strategic Review was jointly conducted by Pittwater Council and the NSW Department of Planning & Infrastructure in 2011. After an 18-month consultation period with the local community, a new development standard of 32 dwellings per hectare was agreed upon and adopted by the Council. The Meriton proposal for the McPherson Street and Warriewood Road sites put forward a dwelling density of over 90 dwellings a hectare. The Director-General Sam Haddad wrote to the Council this week advising them of that he had decided the proposal should not proceed to a ‘gateway review’. The gateway review process is where a planning proposal is determined by the Minister and the NSW Department of Planning & Infrastructure instead of the local council. General Manager Mark Ferguson said the decision underlined the importance of consistency and certainty for future development in Warriewood. “We are pleased that the Department has upheld the JRPP’s view that this development – coming less than 12 months after the Warriewood Strategic Review had been adopted – was inappropriate and an over development of the site.” Mr Ferguson said the decision sent a clear message to developers that planning standards jointly agreed by the NSW Department of Planning & Infrastructure and the Council would be supported in the future.
