Northern Beaches Council Notice

Pasadena Acquisition

The Pasadena site has generated much community interest and we have provided the following Frequently Asked Questions to address many of these enquiries.

We will continue to update this page as further information becomes available. Should you have any questions please email council@northernbeaches.nsw.gov.au

Is Council going to acquire the Pasadena?

The Pasadena lay derelict, run down and unused for many years, creating an eyesore on the waterfront at Church Point.

In August last year, with the backing of the state government, the Council resolved to acquire the land so this beautiful section of foreshore could be returned to the community. 

The Council resolved to negotiate with the owner and to purchase the land and to acquire it compulsorily if negotiations were unsuccessful.

How much negotiation has occurred already?

Council has had a number of meetings and interactions with the owner.

We have now engaged acquisition specialists and valuers to progress the process, and will soon be commencing formal negotiations with the owner which will occur over a period of at least 6 months (unless agreement is reached sooner).

Why would the owner have spent all this money on the property if he thought you were going to acquire it?

We can’t speak for the owner. We have made our intentions very clear to the owner and the community since the Council resolution last August, however the owner is entitled to lawfully use and develop the land until such time as the land is acquired.

Won’t it cost you more now it had been redeveloped?

Council will pay compensation to the owner for the acquired land as assessed under the Just Terms Act.  Council is not in a position to know whether the current works will impact upon the compensation payable, as there has not yet been an assessment of the owner’s entitlement to compensation under the Just Terms Act. We have now engaged acquisition specialists and valuers to progress the process and they will advise on the costs.

What is Council’s plan for it?

Once acquired, Council will develop a masterplan for the site in consultation with the local community.

How did the owners get approval for the works if Council were going to buy it? 

The owner claims the current works occurring on site are reliant on a 1963 Approval for which a recent Construction Certificate has been obtained by a Private Certifier.  Council is currently investigating the lawfulness of the works presently being undertaken and the investigation is ongoing.

Of importance, Council’s intention to acquire the land has no bearing on the lawfulness of the owner’s actions.

Has the developer complied with the conditions of the approval? The community are concerned they are well outside the footprint of their approval – and taking up public land they are not entitled to with their outside awnings and seating.

Council is currently investigating the lawfulness of the works presently being undertaken and the investigation is ongoing.

What are the Council’s next steps?

We have now engaged acquisition specialists and valuers to progress the acquisition process, and will soon be commencing formal negotiations with the owner which will occur over a period of at least 6 months (unless agreement is reached sooner).

Would the Council change its mind given the Pasadena is now redeveloped?

Council has a resolution to acquire the property and return it to the community. At this stage we have engaged acquisition specialists and valuers to progress the acquisition process and have no plans to change course.

Church Point Parking Needs Before Wants Campaign

Hi all

I have created the following Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/CPPNeedsBeforeWants/ in order to urge Council to review their current Church Point Parking Demand Management Plan (which at the moment will result in a net loss of weekend parking spaces to the offshore community).

If you agree, please like the page to show your support.

Thanks
Iza Foster
