The development includes plans for the construction of a road to access the proposed subdivision that would traverse existing community land and will impact significantly on the safety and enjoyment of the land surrounding the community garden and community centre. Boambee East Community Centre has submitted an objection to the existing proposal. You can find further details of the development proposal and our objection here.
