Plans have been filed for a 113-lot residential subdivision about halfway between Sydney and Brisbane.
Developer Elite Constructions NSW is planning the development at Sandy Beach, Coffs Harbour.
The site includes LOT 22 (DP 1070182) and LOT 497 and 498 (DP 227298) along Ti Tree Road, Sandy Beach, about 21km north of the Coffs Harbour CBD and around 555km north of Sydney.
The plans include 113 lots for homes as well as an additional housing entitlement for a residue lot plus five new roads. The project has an estimate cost of $12.7 million, according to application documents now before the NSW Department of Planning.
Lots 497 and 498 are zoned low-density lots, each of 700sq m, and would be used to create a road link from Pine Crescent to the subdivision.
Most of the project will be on a 49.6ha site on Lot 22, which has two separate areas of residential-zoned land totalling 11.9ha and is connected to Ti-Tree Road and Pine Crescent.
The remaining 37.7ha is zoned as C2—an environmental conservation area with Hearnes Lake to the north, the Pacific Highway to the west, the Coffs Coast Regional Park to the east and residential development to the south.
The site is used for grazing and bee-keeping.
The residential lots will be in two separate eastern and western precincts but there are minor encroachments into the conservation areas for drainage and road construction.
There will also be a fire trail and emergency access through the conservation area separating the two precincts.
Several threatened species and ecological communities exist on the site, a concern that has been raised by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.
The species include Wallum froglets, koalas, eastern ospreys, white-bellied sea-eagles, glossy black cockatoos, grey-headed flying-foxes and the southern myotis, a species of vesper bat.
Ecological communities on the site include the swamp sclerophyll forest, the subtropical coastal floodplain forest, the swamp oak floodplain forest, the littoral rainforest and the coastal saltmarsh.
These species and communities will be part of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) assessment of the plans.
