My family has lived in Sandford for generations and watching these decisions happen behind closed doors is heartbreaking. We are nearing two hundred and fifty signatures and hitting that mark will force the council to recognize that our community refuses to be ignored.

The council is keeping a close watch as our numbers rise toward the hundred mark. Please send the link to your neighbors so we can show them that the residents of Sandford and Lauderdale deserve a real say in our future.

Very disappointed the Clarence Council is considering rezoning this land and subsequent development without community consultation. I have serious concerns on the environmental impact on the area especially the birdlife. Please Clarence Council rescind your decision and consult with the community.
Having access along Bayview Rd was have significant impact on the safety of the current residents. It would be hazardous for families trying to access the beach. Richardson’s road via Forest Hill road would be a much better access .
We chose to live in Lauderdale as it is a smaller out of town community. Changing the UGB will ruin this area for good. What’s wrong with 5 acre allotments? Money money money, ratepayers will fork out for infrastructure and developers get rich. This has to stop here.
This is a significant development in the community where I live - it surprises me that my local council doesn’t think it appropriate for public discussion - how else will they know what their rate payers think, or do they no longer care about the people who voted them in to represent them!!
Environmental and infrastructure concerns related to extending UGB. Last Council meeting indicated that there is currently 3000 vacant urban blocks awaiting development in Clarence Council, unsure of the immediate necessity to extend UGB, to accommodate additional developments.
Community consultation is required as this land abuts protected wetland, it also needs to take into account whether this proposal of 550m2 blocks is relevant, given the undeveloped or proposed to develop land already in the urban growth boundary. Additionally, changes to the urban growth boundary need to consider the current sewage/traffic/road use/local resources that are required to support this change.
The planning scheme is there for a reason. Leave it alone.

There is a distinct lack of appropriate infrastructure within the immediate area to support this increased number of houses/families. The current primary school is at capacity. The roads are already overwhelmed. Community consultation IS a necessity by the Council.
