Some senior government ministers are privately furious about plans to build hundreds of new homes in Sydney bushland.
, a growing stoush over plans to clear bushland and build 450 homes at Lizard Rock in Belrose, progressed under new planning rules championed by Planning Minister Anthony Roberts, will give local fuel to an independent campaign. The project is one of the first under new rules that allow some projects on Indigenous-owned land to bypass local council approval. Land Council chief executive Nathan Moran said he was “grateful for the leadership of Minister Roberts and the support of the Department of Planning and Environment” in developing the proposal.
“When you clear 45-plus football fields of land and put hard urban infrastructure in the path of bushfires, nothing makes sense. That land is bordered by [three] safe Liberal seats; they’ve kicked an own goal in that regard.” But Moran said it was a landmark opportunity to utilise land returned under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act to achieve self-determination and generate economic, social and cultural benefits for its members.
“Suggestions [Aboriginal people] should be dictated to by privileged northern beaches residents and let their land be turned into a national park is ridiculous.
