Shellharbour City Council has welcomed the public exhibition of the NSW Government’s Shellharbour City Centre and New Shellharbour Hospital Precinct rezoning proposals, which aim to deliver new homes, jobs and investment to support the city’s long-term growth.
Council says the proposals support its long-standing vision to deliver additional housing, employment opportunities and investment in locations that are well connected to jobs, services, public transport and community infrastructure, while maximising the benefits of major public assets for the community.
“Shellharbour is one of the fastest-growing communities in New South Wales and Council supports the delivery of additional housing and employment opportunities in the right locations,” said Mayor, Chris Homer.
“The City Centre and Hospital Precinct proposals present a significant opportunity to deliver new housing, create jobs, attract investment and strengthen key centres that will support Shellharbour’s future growth.”
The Mayor said Council will continue advocating for key transport upgrades, including improvements to Dunmore Road, the Pioneer Drive/New Lake Entrance Road roundabout and the Oak Flats Interchange, to ensure local infrastructure keeps pace with growth.
Council is encouraging residents, businesses and stakeholders to review the exhibition material and provide feedback to the NSW Government during the public exhibition period.
Drop-in information sessions will be held at the Auditorium, Shellharbour Civic Centre between 3.30pm – 6.30pm on 24 August and between 11am – 2pm on 25 August.
