I am writing to raise my concerns about the proposed Uniting Kingscliff’s construction.
I am concerned about the filling of the site. In 2022 water came up into our streets during the flood to heights never seen before. Infilling and covering more of the land with concrete and buildings will only make the situation worse in our area. Further filling will bring water into our homes. To cause flood-free residents to become flood-prone through increased runoff could be a disaster.
The large amount of dust, noise, vibrations and heavy vehicle traffic that will be generated by the building of this facility will impact on the health and wellbeing of existing residents.
The height will be to a maximum of 16.75m, this is higher than the current height limit of 13.6m. Existing residents will have their privacy, sunlight and amenities severely affected.
Kingscliff is a confined space and the size of this development will cause the loss of the highly-regarded, and promoted, village feel of our area.
