9.3.2 Woolgoolga Lands – West of Existing HighwayThe proposed site for Woolgoolga is located west of the existing highway and an established industrialestate. The investigation area is shown in Illustration 9.4. The site is bound by the existing PacificHighway to the east, residential development to the north, and the proposed bypass to the west.Woolgoolga – West of Existing Industrial Area and Pacific HighwayCriteria Generally Complies Does Not ComplySlopes less than 10%Free from significant environmentalconstraintsGenerally flood free (1% AEP flood event)Adequate buffers from significant watercoursesLocated in proximity to commercial centres Sections of the investigationarea are somewhat constrainedby slope. However, the landfronting the existing PacificHighway has a slope less than10%. This site has an area of27.36 ha. It is likely that the majority ofthe site would not be subject toflooding, however there is noavailable data for the site andthe lower lying parts of the sitewould potentially be flood liable. The site is in proximity to awatercourse. However thereexists sufficient area to providefor buffers to that watercourse. The site is in close proximityto the Woolgoolga CBD. Part of the site has a high riskof containing acid sulfate soilsand is potentially flood liable.The site is also within thecatchment of Willis Creek whichforms part of the habitatprotection zone of the SolitaryIslands Marine Park. Theseissues will need to be carefullyconsidered at rezoning stage toensure they are adequatelyaddressed.Supports lots 2000 m 2 to 4000 m 2 (Light)Supports lots 4000 m 2 to 10000 m 2 (General)Supports lots greater than 10000 m 2 (Heavy )Full range of services available A mix of lots can be providedon the site A mix of lots can be providedon the site A mix of lots can be providedon the site Services are available to thesiteCoffs Harbour City Council Local Growth ManagementStrategy - Industrial Lands ComponentSection 9108
Woolgoolga – West of Existing Industrial Area and Pacific HighwayCriteria Generally Complies Does Not ComplyLocated in proximity to workforce The site is located within 1.5kilometres of Woolgoolga CBDand is able to service thepopulation growth expected tooccur in Woolgoolga and othervillages in the Northern Beachesarea.Located in proximity to Pacific HighwayAdequate buffers from sensitive usesWithin the Growth Areas Map The proposed site is boundby the existing highway and theproposed highway deviation. The site is identified as future“Employment Lands” within theGrowth Areas Map. Buffers and carefulconsideration of design of theestate would need to beundertaken to reduce possibleconflicts on adjoining residentialland uses.DiscussionThis area is a logical extension of the existing Woolgoolga Industrial Area. It has a number of positiveattributes including its close proximity to the existing industrial area and to the proposed route of thePacific Highway Upgrade. The area is also indentified in the Mid North Coast Regional Strategy.Only approximately 26 ha of the investigation area are deemed suitable for rezoning for industrial landuse. Of these 26 ha approximately 25% will be required for roads, drainage and buffers. The likely areaof land that would be able to be developed would therefore be closer to 20 ha. The rest of the land isconsidered to be too steep to be developed for industrial purposes.Issues that will need to be addressed as part of any rezoning of the land include:• the potential impact on the existing blueberry farm and operations;• areas of biodiversity value (including drainage corridors and vegetated areas) will need to be identifiedand protected as part of the rezoning of the site;• potential impact on Willis Creek which is within the habitat protection zone of the Solitary IslandsMarine Park;• the site is located on the entrance to Woolgoolga and this will need to be addressed by appropriatedesign guidelines as part of the Development Control Plan that would cover this locality; and• the area is located next to a residential area and appropriate buffers will need to be determined aspart of any rezoning of the property.9.3.3 Bonville – West of Existing HighwayBonville West consists of two areas which are divided by Butlers Road. One area is 32 ha in size and islocated south of Butlers Road. The other site is 21 ha in area, and is located on the northern side ofButlers Road. These are referred to as Area 1 and Area 2 respectively. The investigation area is shown asIllustration 9.5.Coffs Harbour City Council Local Growth ManagementStrategy - Industrial Lands ComponentSection 9109
