A peaceful view of Moona Moona Creek, where the blue sky is mirrored in calm waters. Mangroves fringe the shoreline and tall bushland trees rise in the distance, highlighting the area’s natural character. Superimposed over the creek landscape is a poster showing an aerial view of the Moona Moona Creek estuary and its sandbanks on a sunny day. Turquoise water winds through the creek, with Bangalay forest lining both shores. Mangroves fringe the waterway near and beyond the bridge, while tall native bushland trees rise in the distance, highlighting the area’s natural character. Added to this image is an architectural rendering of the proposed 4-storey, 77-apartment development at 3 Moona Street, Huskisson. Text over the image reads: ‘Moona Moona Creek. Lodged a submission opposing DA2026/2080? Sign the petition. 77 apartments. 4 storeys. Major development proposed at Moona Moona Creek. Petitions are located at local businesses in Huskisson and Vincentia’.

Objection to 3 Moona St Huskisson DA 2026/2080

The Vincentia Community Forum (VCF) objects to Development Application DA2026/2080 for 3 Moona Street, Huskisson. VCF believes this proposal represents an overdevelopment of a highly sensitive site adjoining Moona Moona Creek. We have identified significant concerns relating to impacts on the natural environment, traffic congestion and pedestrian safety during peak holiday periods, flooding and bushfire risk, the removal of vegetation and trees from public land, and the precedent the proposal would set for the future character of the Moona Moona Creek area.

An image of lush low coastal vegetation on the Collingwood Beach foreshore, with taller shrubs in the distance and the blue water of the bay, sky, and scattered clouds in the background. Text over image reads: ‘Collingwood Beach Dunes. Back Before Council 27 October. Reducing dune vegetation while claiming to improve dune stability. “These two positions are fundamentally incompatible.” VCF opposes Motion CL26.295 and supports the CEO’s assessment.’

CL26.295 Notice of Motion – Ongoing Maintenance of Vegetation and Dune Care Action at Collingwood Beach

The Vincentia Community Forum opposes Motion CL26.295 and supports the recommendation of Council’s professional staff and CEO. At a time of significant financial pressures and competing priorities, we believe Council should be guided by evidence-based coastal management, contemporary coastal science and the certified CMP, rather than revisiting matters that have already been extensively considered through technical assessment, community consultation and statutory approval processes.
