Preschoolers vs patients in development tiff
How many medical practices are there in Yamba?
Three, four - for a population of around 6,000?
Now yet another one is being considered by Clarence Valley Council in a section of the existing Kangabunnaby's child care centre building.
Yet another parking nightmare in the making for land that was zoned residential in the original cul-de-sac subdivision.
If passed, Kangabunnaby's would change from a 90-child facility down to one that caters for 54 children, with a total of 12 car spaces for staff and parents; and three consulting suites that shared nine car spaces plus two disabled car spaces.
Local mums are not amused and, one has to suspect that a development application fix may be in place when you see a proposed small medical practice described in the local media as a super clinic.
My nose tells me that if the application gets passed, within two years the owners will close the childcare centre and submit another DA for commercial premises.
Even more parking woes!

The space for the medical facility within the building is occupying the maximum amount of space within the building that they can occupy. They cannot occupy any other part of the building regardless of the success or failure of the centre.
"They cannot occupy any other part of the building regardless of the success or failure of the centre."
If Anonymous re-reads my post carefully, he/she will find that I made no mention of the proposed medical practice expanding.
I was referring to a change in commercial activity in the remaining space should the child care centre be closed.
This could be achieved if the owners lodged yet another DA in the future which received consent.
