Point Wells Community & Ratepayers Assoc.

Plan Change 120 

 

01.12.25

PWCRA is formally engaging legal and planning consultants to prepare a community-wide submission on Plan Change 120. Work will begin on Monday 1 December.


Our focus is on the technical foundations of the plan change, including methodology, fairness, process and modelling as it pertains to the unique environment of Point Wells. This ensures the submission reflects the interests of the whole Point Wells community, rather than individual property concerns. If you have specific concerns about your property, please do include these in your individual submission OR you can provide further submissions at a later date in support of and adding your own supplementary, property specific evidence. PWCRA’s community submission will remain representative of the whole of Point Wells. We are hoping to circulate a submission guide and wording ahead of December 10th to give you the confidence and support to submit your individual submissions, aligned with our community submission.

 

We are currently fundraising to cover the cost of legal and planning expertise. We are asking of contributions of $250 per household, you can do so by credit card options or bank transfer below:

Every contribution helps us prepare a strong and well-supported submission on behalf of the wider community. Thank you to those who have already donated. We appreciate the huge amount of support, questions, and offers of help we have received. Our goal is to provide clear guidance, information, and a strong, well-supported community position.

After the first round of submissions closes (19 December), Council will:
  1. Compile all submissions
  2. Publish a Summary of Decisions Requested (SDR)
  3. Open the further submission phase
 
This second phase allows people or groups to support or oppose other submissions already lodged. It is not a chance to rewrite or expand your own submission. Instead, it is a chance to:
  • reinforce the positions you agree with
  • challenge positions you think are inaccurate or unhelpful
  • add expert material or supporting evidence to strengthen your original points
  • build alignment with other communities facing similar issues
