High-Rise Development
in the hands of the State Planning Authorities

An application has been submitted to the State Planning Department to have a five storey development on the corner of the Princes Highway and Wason street deemed a "Major Project". If the application is successful the normal community consultative process can be bypassed.
If you have concerns about  this development then please email ulladullaforum@hotmail.com
Any objections can also be directed to Heather Warton Director of Coastal Assessment, Department of Planning GPO Box 39 Sydney 2000.

Bannisters Point Lodge

Approval of the Development Application to add an additional storey to the existing Motel and two floors above the restaurant was granted by Council planning staff in August 2007.

Work has commenced on the development, even though it's not clear if the conditions imposed on this DA can be met.

The 243 square metre $1275 a night family apparent, the first of the luxury apartments has been allotted one car parking space. Overflow parking to be  met by our community-reserve.

Proposed Development
90 South Street DA06/2766

Council have accepted major changes to this development calling the changes an "amendment".
The following was submitted in 2006:

and this is the amended plan. 2007:

 
It's interesting to note that if the  amended plans had been submitted as a new DA, then  Council would not be the consent authority. The State Government recently withdrew Council's authority to make decisions on developments higher than 13 metres.

A recommendation in January from Councillors, resulted in the approval of this DA in March 2008 with specific requirements added  to increase privacy for neighbouring properties.
 

Harbour Concept Plan  Submission:

The Ulladulla and Districts Community Forum appreciates the Ulladulla Harbour and  CBD are in need of some major upgrades and improvements such as safety, aesthetics, amenity and general maintenance. However, the Ulladulla Harbour Concept Plan seems to suggest that maximum development and investment return should drive development in the Harbour area. The Forum believes development should be based on its socio-economic value, not by the sum of dollar returns to investors.

Wason Street Development

DA06/2236 was  submitted   for   a  Mixed use Commercial/Residential development comprising of three (3) retail spaces, one (1) restaurant, thirty four (34) residential apartments and basement parking for 87 cars at 26-32 Wason St, Ulladulla. Proposed building located in "Sensitive Coastal Region" and exceeds the height code set out in DCP56. This DA was approved by council in December 2006.
 

Target Complex  DA 05/1495

The large mixed use development obtained a more significant variation to the building height line restriction as almost the entire building was above 8 metres. The height of some sections of this complex will be in the order of  19 metres. The building will conflict with the existing town character in terms of height, bulk and scale, and is likely to have a significant impact on view corridors to the harbour.

South St Development 
DA/063122 (Location 89 South St)
The application was refused by Council staff on 11th April 2008.

This development application, lodged in September 2006, involves the demolition of existing structures and construction of a seven storey building. The building will house three retail units on the ground floor and forty-two residential apartments with two levels of basement parking and one hundred parking spaces. This building does not meet the existing DCP56 height code.
