A third separate development application for subdivision approval in the Wadalba South Urban Release Area along Jensen Rd has been lodged with Central Coast Council.
If all three are approved it will open the area to 164 new residential lots in the 143ha precinct to be developed in stages for about 1,200 low density house blocks.
In April two DAs were lodged for 38 lots at 110 Jensen Rd and 79 lots at 90-100 Jensen Rd while the latest subdivision proposal is for 47 lots at 130/140 Jensen Rd.
Council is still assessing the first two DAs (589 and 1242) and public feedback on 130 Jensen Rd (2728) is open for public comment until Friday, November 4.
This rural residential area, roughly bounded by Pollock Ave, Warner Ave, Johns Rd, is in the early phases of urban development and the 130 Jensen Rd proposal sits within Stage 2A and 2B of the overall plan, which also includes a district sports field opposite.
Part of the site is zoned RE1 Public Recreation and cannot be developed, a small coastal wetlands area along the eastern boundary will remain and Council will acquire the 40m-wide biodiversity corridor zoned C3 to manage its environmental protection.
