| Subject: Thanks to statists, thousands of OZschwitz coastal developments at risk, over 'rising sea levels' Fri Aug 20, 2010 4:19 am | |
| THOUSANDS of NSW coastal development sites may never be built on under new government guidelines directing councils to limit construction on beachfront and lakeside land under threat from rising sea levels.
The NSW Coastal Planning Guidelines, released today, encourage councils to reject development and rezoning applications on land deemed at risk.
The guidelines define hazard areas and urge coastal councils to take a strategic, risk-based approach to plan for the impacts of climate change.
Homes in at-risk areas may need to be relocatable so they can be moved to higher ground.
