From the Mayor
This week the Council made two important decisions regarding new housing in Ku-ring-gai.
On Monday 31 March, Council will consider community feedback on the alternate housing scenarios for transport-oriented development along the rail corridor between Gordon and Roseville, as well as a preferred scenario for public exhibition. There will be a public forum before this meeting on 31 March and residents can address Councillors. If you can’t attend in person, you can attend online or send in a written submission.
The second decision relates to the minimum lot size for dual occupancies in Ku-ring-gai. Council has voted to support a minimum lot size of 1,015 sq/m for dual occupancy developments on land zoned ‘low density residential’. Council considered feedback from the community on two minimum lot size options between January and February.
I’ll continue to keep you updated on any decision we make on 31 March.
On Sunday we will celebrate our diverse community with our very first Multicultural Festival. Between 10am and 3pm St Ives Showground will come alive with the music, dance, food and performances that reflect the countries that 40% of our residents have come from. Thank you to all the community groups and other organisations who have contributed to what is sure to be an exciting new event for Ku-ring-gai.
I hope to see you there!
