The inaugural meeting of Businesses of Beecroft (BOB) met yesterday in the Beecroft Bowling Club, with over forty people in attendance.
After introductory talks by Paul MacDonald and Robert Sawtell, Mr Michael Hutchence, Ward C Councillor, was introduced to discuss the current state of the Hornsby Shire Council's Housing Strategy document.
He explained that there is not yet an approved second version of the plan. The proposed amendments listed on the Shire website on 8 December have yet to be ratified and the Shire needs approval to publicise the new modified plan. Of course, those amendments include the incorporation of Beecroft Village into the list of precincts to be approved for 5 - storey development.
Mr Hutchence explained that there will be many other associated documents, covering such major issues as car parking and traffic. The complete strategy will be put on display in mid March, and CDs containing the entire suite of documents will be posted through the community.
Apparently the original plan was just to display the plan for a couple of weeks, but this has been extended to a full month, probably starting on 15 March.
This blog will provide updates as more information becomes available.
