C97 in Coldstream

Anonymous said...
Hi Mario, if the proposed Housing Policy gets through, it will have far bigger implications to everyone in Coldstream. As I believe it, not only will blocks have to be a minimum or 1000m2, but you will only be allowed to build on 30% of the block. This will have implications on all the existing blocks in Coldstream, as if you want to build a shed/garage in your backyard and it will push you over the 30% land coverage, you won't be allowed to! We must stop this happening and everyone possible should lodge a submission against the proposal.
..
Yes, there is that too. There is also a ruling on the size of a tree that can be chopped down without a permit. If a tree measures more than 80 cm in CIRCUMFERENCE at 1 metre above the ground you may also need a permit! I would like to know how the 30% was arrived at and how many existing blocks are not complying with this new scheme. Thanks for your comment and I hope you and a few others bring this to the attention of the Shire before it is too late.
