Caravan Park subdivision objection

As many will have noticed, Planning Application advertising signs appeared relating to the proposed subdivision of the caravan park.

Whilst the Sandy Point Community Group (SPCG) acknowledges that this is privately owned land, we all note the public and commercial benefit of a caravan park that is in and adjacent to our town centre.

Community endorsement of this position is well known and wellpublicised. To that end we have endorsed Professor Rob McGuaran's objection to the Planning Application.

In essence we argue:

1. That the form of the subdivision, if approved, could be improved by maintaining the two existing entry points with an internal roadway so that the perimeter of the caravan park/subdivision remains as is, with no conflict between driveways, parking, vegetation, and pedestrian and bicycle movement.

2. That the loss of community benefit should be off-set by a public open space contribution as is commonplace in other jurisdictions in relation to planning applications such as this. The diagram below is one idea of how this could work.
