It is anticipated that these heavy vehicles will travel on Waterfall Way to support the Pacific Highway infrastructure upgrade.
The development application (DA) for the expansion has been submitted to the relevant authority, Clarence Council, however the Bellingen Shire Council has been granted the opportunity to provide comment.
The application will be determined by the Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP) and not Clarence Valley Council.
Regional panel meetings to determine a DA are generally conducted in public, and the applicant and any person who has made a submission can make a presentation.
Anyone interested in making a submission must do so by 4pm on April 28.
For further information contact Bellingen Shire Council.
