With the Canute to Pittwater council to Northern beaches we have already lost a lot of large spotted gum trees. Every day of the week you can hear chainsaws and shredders on Bilgola Plateau! Enough already.

We chose to live in Pittwater because of the natural environment. Please leave us, the trees & the wildlife alone.

We must protect our beautiful environment. We need the big old trees for shade cover, to hold the earth in times of heavy rain and to provide habitat. This place is special and needs protection. Once the native plants are gone they’re never coming back.

Please, haven’t we learnt anything from our history. Once an area is destroyed erosion and extinction of fauna and flora follow. We should be preserving wherever we can not destroying without need. Greed is a horrible thing. Developers need integrity!

Please do not go ahead with the re-zoning plan. It will lead to higher density in some areas which is undesirable. Thank you.

The natural beauty of Pittwater is already eroded and its amenity for residents had deteriorated substantially because of overdevelopment and undesirable population growth.

The Pittwater area is a unique environment with nature abounding in conjunction with residential; if this plan goes ahead. Due to the high spread of residential properties and associated support services (roads, tree loss, pets) this area has already lost their koala population. We cannot afford to lose any more of our valuable wildlife, flora, fauna, birds, reptiles. This decision myst not go ahead!

This area still has critical biodiversity and a strong canopy. Downgrading our conservation zonings is in my eyes - negligent governance and is a dangerous pathway that we can not comeback from. With a new DCP and LEP looming we have the opportunity to make our zonings stronger not weaker. The future needs protecting for all of us - habitat for all.

As a resident in the area I do not think redoing is a good idea and will ultimately change the environment negatively.

Pittwater is one of Sydney's greatest jewels. I have taken many overseas visitors to visit this area, even when they only have 2 or 3 days to get a flavour of the beauty of Sydney.
The local community, and visitors from all over Australia, expect the unique features of the ares to be preserved, which includes the tree coverage, and the green fringe all around the water's edge of Pittwater and the ocean coast line.
Priority needs to be given to preservation of the lush, rich ecosystem, not helping developers to maximise their super profits because they have owned land there for so long.

1. Rule out rezoning of C4 land to residential
2. Apply conservation zonings to properties where any significant environmental values or hazards are present
3. Create Scenic Foreshore Protection Areas from shorelines to ridgelines
4. Retain all Heritage Conservation Areas and investigate those proposed - but not yet implemented - by the former Pittwater Council.

Please, no more destruction of open spaces. It's one of the few parts of Sydney still retaining its natural habitat, flora and fauna.
