Sutton area eyed for industrial region by shire council
The Yarrowlumla Shire Council plans to ask the NSW State Planning and Environment Commission to discuss creating an industrial or service region beside the Federal Highway near Sutton. Councillors split on expanding industrial work at Te BIN, with proposals for a caravan park and a meat processing factory. Some members urged Bungendore or a designated industrial zone, while others warned against ribbon development and water shortages. The president noted interim orders do not restrict zones, risking appeals, and urged Canberra water reticulation to aid the region.
