Certificate issue provides safeguards

 

The issue of a Construction Certificate for the Hillview St retirement village development was contingent on a number of safeguards, according to the Central Coast branch of the Australian Conservation Foundation.

"An $75,000 'upfront' contribution must be paid to an environmental trust fund, of a total of $225,000 ultimately required," said branch president Mr Mark Snell.

"A security deposit of $20,000 to cover damage must be paid, and a further $400,000 paid in Section 94 contributions."

Mr Snell said a range of other precautionary conditions were required before a Construction Certificate is issued.

These included measures such as the provision of a landscape plan and an erosion and sediment control plan.
