The plans can be viewed on the Reflections Holiday Parks website at; https://reflectionsholidayparks.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/massy-greene- DRAFT-PoM-14-Nov-2018_Final.pdf Responses to key issues and frequently asked questions are provided below: Who is Reflections Holiday Parks? Reflections manages the operations of 37 holiday parks and community reserves on Crown land throughout NSW. Formed in 2013 to consolidate the operations of 28 coastal and nine inland holiday parks and reserves located on Crown land throughout NSW, the Group incorporated three holiday park brands, (North Coast Holiday Parks, South Coast Holiday Parks and Inland Waters Holiday Parks), under its corporate banner, Crown Holiday Parks. Rebranded to Reflections Holiday Parks in February 2018, the Group brings its 37 holiday and community parks on Crown land under the one unified banner. The group is a not-forprofit organisation and reinvests its surplus funds across all its holiday and community parks, so visitors and regional communities can keep enjoying these pristine locations. The vision of Reflections Holiday Parks is to inspire all who visit. What authority does Reflections Holiday Parks have to develop the holiday park at Ferry Reserve and who do they answer to? The NSW Crown Holiday Park Land Manager (NSWCHPLM) is established under the Crown Land Management Act 2016 (the principal Act governing the administration of Crown Land in NSW). NSW Crown Holiday Parks Land Manager, trading as Reflections Holiday Parks, manages the holiday park located on Massy Greene. Reflections Holiday Parks (Reflections) is an autonomous body managed by a Board. Reflections is accountable directly to the Minister administering the Crown Land Management Act 2016. Reflections is the trading name for the management and marketing of a number of caravan parks and reserves throughout coastal and country NSW.
What approvals are required for the development works and buildings in the holiday park at Massy Greene? Relocatable buildings can generally be installed without development consent or a construction certificate if they are installed in accordance with the provisions of the Local Government (Manufactured Home Estates, Caravan Parks, Camping Grounds and Moveable Dwellings) Regulation 2005 Certain works can be undertaken as either exempt development or development without consent under the provisions of the State Environmental Planning Policy (Infrastructure) 2007. Why is the approved 2014 Plan of Management for Massy Greene being revised? Reflections has responded to community feedback which called for greater site setbacks and improved open space. Reflections listened to and actioned several changes, (as noted in the summary of proposed amendments to the Adopted PoM document available for download on the Reflections web site here. What were the key issues raised and how were they amended? See summary of proposed amendments on the Reflections web site. What will happen to the permanent residents living in the park? Permanent Residents can remain in the park. Some permanent residents may need to be relocated elsewhere in the park as the park is being divided into precincts which separate tourists from the Permanent Residents. This will be done in consultation and agreement with the Permanent residents. This is to ensure a better quality of life for the residents and also for a better holiday experience for tourists who may feel they are disturbing the residents during their holiday.
What is the area / space you are talking about to be amended? What works are proposed to be undertaken within the holiday park and what benefits will these changes bring to the local community? There will be significant foreshore setbacks along the river which will provide public access and a formalised walk way along the riverbank for guests and the community to enjoy. There will be increased setback distances of a minimum of 10m from the foreshore and improved amenity for users of the foreshore. Additional public open space will be provided on the western edge of the park (Lot 7005), which will enable an improved interface with the boat harbour and entry/exit to the holiday park as per the current approved PoM. Consolidation of long-term sites into the Southern Precinct of the park for more security and quiet enjoyment for residents.
Provision of a Permanent Residence Precinct which lets visitors and residents comfortably enjoy the park in separate areas. New fencing will be installed to clearly define the operational park boundaries and ensure security for guests and residents. Increased landscaping and protection of native vegetation. Guests will be able to relax in the green space of the park with more landscaping and preservation of the existing native vegetation within the park. As part of the protection within the environmental space, only endemic native species for landscaping and tree replacement will be used. All works done within the park will ensure compliance with current Regulations. Has there been any pre-consultation regarding these draft Plans of Management? Yes.
