'Outraged' residents urged to give opinion on council approvals policy
Lake Macquarie councillor Jason Pauling has urged any resident "who's ever been outraged" to voice their opinions on the review of the Local Approvals Policy. At Monday night's council meeting at the Morisset Showground, councillors unanimously voted to place the draft policy on public exhibition. It is the first review of the approvals policy since December 2022 and it proposes minor changes to rules around moveable dwellings such as manufactured homes, tents, caravans and campervans, as well as public car parking, busking and street theatre, fundraising and mobile vending. The Liberal West Ward councillor said it was essential that the community give the council their feedback. "This is quite a broad-ranging framework piece that dictates a lot of how council sees a whole range of things, from car parking to busking on the street to fundraising," Cr Pauling said. "It's going out for exhibition for 28 days. This is one of those things where anyone who's ever been outraged by something in the community should have a look at this document and make their views known. "One way or another, most of those issues will find their way back to this framework." Labor mayor Adam Shultz, who wore a Macquarie jersey during the meeting to mark the Scorpions' 22-20 victory over Lakes United in Saturday's Lake Macquarie Challenge Shield rugby league match, said the changes to the approvals policy would provide more clarity to the community. "These activities provide a range of economic opportunities for businesses and individuals to activate our public spaces and, in effect, add some vibrancy to Lake Macquarie," Cr Shultz said. "The review of the Local Approvals Policy will make it easier for the community to understand some of those complicated areas of regulation." In the brisk council meeting that was finished in under an hour, councillors also approved more than $14,500 in grant funding to support 17 local NAIDOC Week events. NAIDOC Week is July 6 to 13. This year's theme is The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy. Council received 18 applications totalling $18,749. The only applicant rejected was St Brigid's Catholic College at Lake Munmorah, due to the school being located in the Central Coast local government area. The Blacksmiths-based Bahtabah Local Aboriginal Land Council was the largest recipient, granted $2500 for The Eastlakes NAIDOC Family Fun Day. Councillors also endorsed a further $22,500 under council's Donations Program for 12 community organisations. These included $2000 for the ARAM Tamil Association, which teaches language and cultural classes at Cardiff North Public School; $2000 to the Newcastle Astronomical Society to support their viewing nights at Speers Point Park; $2000 to upgrade lighting in the Belmont North scout hall; and $2000 to purchase aquatic equipment for the Valentine Hydrotherapy Pool. "Each project, while unique, shares a common goal to strengthen the community from the ground up," Cr Shultz said.
