Escarpment land to be zoned E2, council staff propose

Council-owned land around the Peninsula's escarpment will be zoned E2 Environmental Conservation under a staff recommendation expected to be approved by Council administrator Mr Dick Persson tomorrow night.

The land includes properties around The Bays, Umina Heights and Pearl Beach.

The recommendation will see the land, which is part of the Coastal Open Space System, included in the new Central Coast Local Environmental Plan planning scheme, allowing the current Interim Development Order No.146 to be repealed.

However, the new zoning provisions will prohibit dwelling houses, secondary dwellings and bed and breakfast accommodation.

The move was approved in principle in December, subject to further evaluation of "deferred matters" land.

The staff report stated that all "deferred matters" lands had been evaluated and recommended that Council-owned Coastal Open Space System lands and a small number of other Council properties which are used for a variety of community purposes and be transferred to the initial version of the new planning scheme.

In response to public submissions saying that the E2 zoning was not appropriate, staff repeatedly commented: "An E5 or additional public conservation zone is not provided for under the Standard (format) and as such is not available for application by Council.

"The E2 Environmental Conservation zone provides the highest level of environmental protection for areas with high ecological, scientific, cultural or aesthetic values outside national parks and nature reserves.

"Council is currently developing an LGA-wide Biodiversity Strategy for public comment which will help guide the Comprehensive LEP Review."

The report stated: "Most notably, the proposed E2 zone prohibits dwelling houses, secondary dwellings and bed and breakfast accommodation.

"An exception has been provided for private land currently zoned E2 currently. This land will retain entitlements where they currently exist."

Among land identified in The Bays area included more than 15 allotments in Horsfield Bay, 36 in Phegans Bay and 12 allotments in Woy Woy Rd.

There were 10 lots in Woy Woy Bay Rd, Horsfield Bay; five in Athol St, Horsfield Bay; 16 lots in Crest Rd, Phegans Bay; 16 in Elaroo Rd, Phegans Bay, and four other properties in Phegans Bay.

There were 11 properties in Woy Woy Rd, Woy Woy, one in Nagari Rd, Woy Woy, and one in Woy Woy Bay Rd, Woy Woy Bay

There were 22 properties around Umina Heights, at: Neera Rd, Kingsview Dr, The Rampart, Palmtree Grove, Greenhaven Dr, Turana Cl, Tulama Rd, Heritage Cl, Homan Cl, The Citadel, Sylvania Rd, Timbertop Dr and Ryans Rd.

There were also five lots listed in Green Point Rd, Pearl Beach
