A proposal for twelve new lots in the buffer zone between Wilson Nature Reserve and existing houses on City View Drive, East Lismore, has local residents worried.
There are concerns about environmental impacts, water management, fire risk, and increased traffic on City View Drive, with the only two access roads in the area (which are very steep) already under pressure. Map showing proposed subdivision (DA 21/253, 37 City View Drive East Lismore).
DA 21/253 (37 City View Drive) is before Lismore City Council, but currently subject to a ‘stop the clock’ letter while the proponent considers additional requests from council.
