The spot rezoing process for Little Manly.
Manly Council submits a planning proposal to the Department of Planning and Infrastructure. The Gateway Determination process, the department checks to see that the required topics are mentioned and ticked off. The department doesn’t independently check that the planning proposal meets the Council’s own strategic goals or whether the material in the planning proposal is factually correct.

In this instance the Minister of Department of Planning and Infrastructure ( Brad Hazzard ) has then delegated authority to determine the spot rezoning to the same Council that put in the submission !
Manly Council administration will then oversee public submissions itself.
Questions can be directed to Council’s Planning and Strategy Branch on 9976 1500 or the Department of Planning and Infrastructure 9228 6286.

Manly Council’s own sea level study – 2008 “Cardano Report” – Climate Change Actions for Manly LGA (Manly Council) – the public liability Council will incur with increasing freak storms

Boat Storage and watercraft staging area – and with the loss of the ramp watercraft’s only north harbour access for boating, wind surfers and kayakers.
