NSW labels Avondale eco-resort plan as state significant due to environmental and safety concerns.

NSW authorities have classified a proposed eco-resort at Avondale as State Significant Development, requiring an Environmental Impact Statement. The project, by Avondale Escarpment Pty Ltd, aims to add villas and glamping pavilions on C2 Conservation land, sparking opposition over zoning and bushfire risks due to limited access. The developer’s co-owner is linked to a nearby landfill whose licence was suspended over unpaid fees and environmental violations, with closure conditions still unmet. No formal application has been submitted.
