The Beecroft and Cheltenham Civic Trust held their meeting on Monday at the Cheltenham Recreation Club, with about 200 people attending. The Mayor of Hornsby, numerous councilors and planning officers, and Greg Smith our MP all came to give a presentation and answer questions on the proposed addition of Beecroft to the Hornsby Shire Housing Strategy.
The Shire has to submit the final report in mid 2010, for intended implementation mid 2011. That means there is not time for the long consultation period held last year for the precincts that were then involved in the plan. So the residents of Beecroft and Cheltenham find themselves caught out, with only four weeks to find out what is happening and make their views known. Submissions must be in by 23 April!
There are numerous ways the local community can make its views known, and overwhelmingly the most effective way is for every resident to write both to State Government and to the Shire, specifically saying whether you agree or disagree with inclusion of Beecroft Village in the proposal.
