This afternoon I attended the public meeting to discuss the application to change the terms of Hervey Bay's town plan. This would allow development in Ansons Road, Dundowran. About 150 people were in attendance, amongst these were councillors Hovard, Arthur, Hawes and Brooks.
The meeting was well-run by Tanya Sanders a new Dundowranite from Sydney. The feeling of the meeting was totally opposed to the development, although there was little specific information on what was proposed! This after all was not an application to build, rather one to change town plan zoning for this land.
I can only hope those who submit written opposition to such changes, point out the proposal is out of sequence, lacks any viable sewerage plan, lacks good vehicular access and will increase traffic on the Hervey Bay - Burrum Road.
Having only been in Hervey Bay for eight weeks, this city needs more like Tanya Sanders.

Anyone interested in making a submission to Council about the Ansons Road application to override the town plan, I have a two generic letters available by email. A one page letter and a longer more detailed one. Email me freeclarion@gmail.com and I will forward a copy.
Jim MacKellar,
Remembering, of course, that an objector must be able to demonstrate a direct negative inpact on their property or lifestyle, by the proposed development for their objection to receive consideration. If no connection is made in the objection it will be deemed as improperly made.
