 PROTECTING PITTWATER - Where To From Here?

 flyer

The forced amalgamation of Pittwater Council was just the beginning of massive changes proposed for our area.

We’ve already seen plans for 3,400 new homes at Ingleside, a new height limit of six-storeys for the redevelopment of Mona Vale (currently on hold) and trees cut down in Mona Vale Park for a B-Line bus stop.

However, there’s so much more that we don’t know about:

  • What impact will the new government planning body - the Greater Sydney Commission – have on Pittwater?
  • How will development approvals be carried out?
  • Are our Crown Lands, tree canopies and open spaces safe?
  • How can we recover our local Pittwater Council?
  • What is the best way forward to protect this special place for future generations?

These are some of the questions we urgently need answered.

All residents will have the opportunity to join in the discussion and a number of other community representatives have been invited to speak.
