It would be a great shame to approve subdivision and dual occupancy in this street.
The significant attraction of parts of Tura Beach is the fact that the land portions are large and allow a sense of space, a sense of rural style living in an urban environment which affords the services we need, especially as we grow older.
We have personally witnessed subdivision and dual occupancy in both Sydney and Canberra and there is absolutely no doubt that it lowers the standard of a suburb. In hindsight, I am sure that Councils, albeit that they have increased revenue, rue the day that this type of development was approved.
It is also a slap in the face for the current residents who have made the commitment, both financial and emotional, to invest in their future, their home, their surroundings, their community.
Subdivision and dual occupancy is about profit and greed, it is not about the quality of the environment, it is not about the suburb and certainly not about the community.
Please keep the part of Tura Beach that boasts generous parcels of land the way it is for those that wish to have the choice. Once the subdivisions start, the precedent will be set and they will continue.
It is a situation which can not be reversed, just like development on quality farming land. Once it is gone, it is gone forever.
