As discussed above, the siteis located in close proximity toexisting rural residential areas.Area 1 also adjoins the site of aschool. The area is not identifiedwithin the Growth Area MapsDiscussionBoth Area 1 and Area 2 are deemed unsuitable for industrial development for the following reasons:• the only access to the site is through an existing rural residential area which contains a number ofother uses generally not suitable to traffic generated by industrial land uses;• a school exists adjacent to the investigation area which would be potentially incompatible to industrialland uses and traffic generated by industrial land uses;• other lands in South Bonville are deemed more suitable for industrial development; and• the site is situated a significant distance from Coffs Harbour and there is insufficient justification torezone this land in addition to the land already identified as having potential to service the proposedBonville Village.Coffs Harbour City Council Local Growth ManagementStrategy - Industrial Lands ComponentSection 9113
