Council did not have appropriate justification from a planning perspective to have ever proposed a
downzoning of my property to rural residential and yet the latest amendments to the planning scheme have
a similar effect.
Zoning will have the effect of sterilising the development potential. Serviced, developable land in Pomona is
extremely rare. Sterilising this land from development does not benefit the local community or local
businesses.
All the vegetation in the Biodiversity Overlay along the northern boundary will be protected in any
redevelopment scenario by incorporating it into new residential lots with covenants/easements. The same
should apply to the area proposed to be mapped as conservation on the southern boundary.

21005045 My reasons for lodging this objection are as follows:
The minimum lot size remains 1,000m2.

is the fact the scheme doesn’t control residential density through the number of bedrooms anymore.
