The Town Plan for Coffs Harbour outlines industrial and commercial zones including the Jetty area. Department of Local Government Town Planning Officer Mr. McRae presented boundaries during a local committee meeting in Coffs Harbour.
The report notes April water supply concerns with 75,750,000 gallons used and 8,352 units pumped while awaiting a control valve for a new reservoir. It warns that poor lighting risks accidents and outlines proposed zoning for heavy industries around the jetty and along High Street, with boundary details and recommendations approved for council submission.
Clarence River County Council told Dorrigo Shire on Wednesday that lightning arresters would be installed on the service pole at Karangi to prevent pumping interruptions. If ineffective the council may seek changes to protective equipment and asked for reports of further trouble as they occur.
The Minister for Local Government directs a Departmental Inspector and an Engineer to inspect the Hora Bridge site soon. Dorrigo and Bellingen Shire Councils press for Thorn to receive a high level bridge financed as a national work project.
