Fears raised over Huntlee development

Fresh concerns have been raised about the proposed Huntlee residential development near Branxton.

Pressure has been placed on the state government to reject the proposal due to financial constraints.

A recent report indicates the project would put the Cessnock Council in financial jeopardy due to low value developer contributions.

Greens Councillor, James Ryan is calling on the state government to consider whether the development, in it's current form, is appropriate and sustainable.

He says the $16,300 to be provided per dwelling will not be enough to fund the necessary infrastructure.
