Bega Valley Shire Council refused 86 units, overturned in court. Despite a 10% decline in kids, crumbly buildings and village nostalgia are more important than a functional town

Prices up in Eden 75%, Bega 66%, Merimbula 50%

The new state Housing Development Authority to bypass these will be lit

The Eurobodalla Council literally refused shop top housing just last year for no good reason.

They cant possibly blame the economy for a lack of housing approvals

I live in a proper dogbox of an apartment. If I had to pay for a 50sqm, well-lit unit, I probably couldn't afford to live where I do.

We should let more people like me make this decision. Banning economy class doesn't mean everyone gets to fly business.
