2832 Hawkesbury River, Bar Point NSW
This website has been created to serve as a hub for information and feedback about the proposed development at 2832 Hawkesbury River, Bar Point. The proposal comprises a small dwelling house and jetty, with the jetty starting within the site area and connecting the proposed dwelling house to the Hawkesbury River (Crown lands). This website is designed to keep local residents and interested parties up-to-date on the progress of the project while providing a space for constructive dialogue and community engagement.
The jetty
The jetty location and engineering has been designed so as to minimise the impact on the wetland.
The house
The house has been thoughtfully designed to minimize its environmental footprint, both during the construction phase and throughout its long-term use.
Wastewater management
The preferred wastewater management system was chosen as it works in harmony with nature’s processes, using living systems to treat and recycle wastewater.
The location
A 1.35-hectare (ha) plot with a 30.7-meter frontage to the Hawkesbury River, the site is located 1.1 kilometres northeast of Big Jims Reach and 4.5 kilometres upstream of Bar Point.
We would like to acknowledge the Dharug and Darkinjung peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land and river known as Dyarubbin. We would like to acknowledge that they defended, walked and managed these lands for many generations before us and have left a legacy of strong cultural, wisdom and knowledge in their people today. Thus, we would like to honor their enduring connection to the land, waterways, and sky, and pay our respects to their Elders, past, present, and emerging.
As we approach the development at 2832 Hawkesbury River, Bar Point, we seek to foster reciprocity with the land, implementing sustainable practices that nurture & protect the environment. In doing so, we hope to continue the tradition of custodianship that has been carried forward by the Dharug and Darkinjung peoples for generations. We have joined the Land for Wildlife Program as a first step towards this & will implement a vegetation management plan as part of the development.
