Council set to reject electric car storage at Jamberoo Action Park

A council ruling found a problem. Temporary electric vehicle storage breaks zoning rules for amusement park land.

Jamberoo Action Park wants to use its car park to store new BYD electric vehicles. The vehicles arrive by truck from Port Kembla.

The council's zoning rules don't allow this use. A staff report recommends rejection.

The site would work as a storage facility for inventory. It is not a parking area for visitors.

Storage facilities are prohibited in the local plan. The proposal would bring up to 60 truck movements on busy days.

Fire risks exist from densely packed electric vehicles. Councillors will decide at Tuesday's meeting.
