In plain terms: A mixed-use development including a place of worship, cafe, retail and commercial spaces, and 150 residential units with affordable housing components.
It is on public exhibition now, which is the window when the community can put concerns or support on the official assessment record. Once it closes, that opportunity is gone.
Residents and businesses in and around Coffs Harbour (Coffs Harbour City) — anyone affected by traffic, noise, overshadowing, character or amenity changes during construction and once it is operating.
This is a State Significant Development, so it is large or sensitive enough to be decided by the NSW Department of Planning rather than the local council.

I object to SSD-91539707 at 19A-21 Gordon Street, Coffs Harbour, NSW. The exhibited development application should not be approved in its current form because the proposal asks the consent authority to accept material planning and amenity impacts while key evidence remains incomplete, fragile or insufficiently tested.
My local context is: I am a local resident near the site. This is a general sample submission prepared before individual residents add the specific details only they know. The development application is SSD-91539707, a development application before NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure. The key concerns are height, bulk or scale, sunlight or overshadowing and traffic, parking or loading.
1. Height, bulk or scale. The proposal has not demonstrated that its impacts on height, bulk or scale are acceptable for nearby residents, and the exhibited material should be tested on this point before any approval. The current record says: "Based on the resident's stated local knowledge; the exhibited application material should be checked on this point." (Resident-supplied information — verify against the exhibited material). This should be assessed against Relevant planning controls and public interest assessment.
2. Sunlight or overshadowing. The proposal has not demonstrated that its impacts on sunlight or overshadowing are acceptable for nearby residents, and the exhibited material should be tested on this point before any approval. The current record says: "Based on the resident's stated local knowledge; the exhibited application material should be checked on this point." (Resident-supplied information — verify against the exhibited material). This should be assessed against Relevant planning controls and public interest assessment.
3. Traffic, parking or loading. The proposal has not demonstrated that its impacts on traffic, parking or loading are acceptable for nearby residents, and the exhibited material should be tested on this point before any approval. The current record says: "Based on the resident's stated local knowledge; the exhibited application material should be checked on this point." (Resident-supplied information — verify against the exhibited material). This should be assessed against Relevant planning controls and public interest assessment.
For those reasons, I ask NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure to refuse the application unless the applicant resolves the identified statutory and evidentiary gaps. Require corrected and independently reviewable supporting material before any favourable determination.
