Traditional owners in Coffs Harbour are fighting against a “heartbreaking” proposal to build a six-storey private housing development near cultural heritage sites, in a project the state government says will “revitalise” the city’s foreshore.
The proposal, still in the early planning stages, would see up to 250 residential dwellings and 200 short-stay units built on two “underutilised” lots within the 60-hectare foreshore precinct, subject to planning approvals.
