What's the development being proposed?
The proposal involves the permanent construction of one communal and three visitor accommodation ‘pods’ (huts) in the vicinity of the existing rustic hut on Halls Island.
It is proposed that there will be up to 30 trips to the accommodation per year. Each trip will involve helicopter transport for up to six visitors and two guides from Derwent Bridge (or using the same route from Derwent Bridge) to an area approximately 300m to the east of Lake Malbena.
The proponent estimates that each trip is expected to involve four helicopter flights in a day (two trips in to deliver guests, and two return trips), resulting in up to 240 flights per year. There will also be an unspecified number of helicopter flights to service the development.
Any person wishing to lodge a representation to Council about the proposal, must do so before 5pm on 4 February 2019.
