Northern Beaches Council encourages the community to review the revised draft Ingleside Place Strategy and associated technical reports released by the NSW Government today.

The revised plans reduce the size of the proposed development to account for bushfire risk.

Council is reviewing the plans whilst on exhibition and will also provide feedback on the draft plan to the government.

Mayor Michael Regan said safety has to be the top priority when considering future plans for the Ingleside precinct.

“We have seen all too recently the devastating impacts of bushfire and we have to make sure we don’t put people and homes in harm’s way.

“Reducing the scale of the proposed plan for Ingleside is the only option for the safety of the current and future Ingleside community.

“The revised plans are on exhibition and it's critical local residents understand what is planned and provide their feedback to the NSW government.

“I encourage you to register for an information session, view the maps and make sure you have your say before the end of the exhibition period.

“We will also be considering the revised plans and especially the provision for infrastructure needed to support any growth in this area.”
