Kiama’s close proximity to Sydney (and it’s greedy real-estate market) is placing increasing pressure on the region’s unique environmental resources.
Some local landowners are keen to re-develop their farm holdings, carving them into housing estates. One particular plan proposes the construction of another 1200 houses! (This guy has a fabulous land holding near Kiama, but lives in Sydney!). Short-sighted, one-off profit-making developments such as this threaten to destroy all the things that make Kiama the wonderful place that it is! |
Can’t anyone see past the short-term $$$$$$$ ??
There is a finite supply of land between the coast and the escarpment. This is not a discussion about if we will exhaust this supply of land, it is about when it will happen. We desperately need some vision in planning at all levels of government – vision about people, vision about quality of life, vision about something other than how much money can be made by ‘mates’ carving up land. |

We do not need more urban sprawl!
Neither do we have to have “urban consolidation”,
driven by nothing more than the short-term financial interests of
real-estate agents and developers!
