This may sound esoteric, but, in hindsight, the owners of such a parcel of land, such as this, often meet with a self directed misfortune and disgrace that may even stop more developments such as these going ahead. The land at Kings Forest is very powerful. Do not ever underestimate the power of “land” and the spirit that works with it!

It is the energy of the matter that is important, education to the masses. Not letting the power of money and developer “right of way”, inappropriate scientifically based jargon and law force people into a submissive stance rests with reminding yourself of your own energy and path. If it is your path, or someone else’s to make a submission, then, that IS THEIR PATH

This development is a reflection of exactly where society, in the NE region of NSW, directs their vision. You are right in questioning the usefulness of a submission. I was involved in a couple of such submissions years ago, and after actively involving people in the community, one such submission lead to a Qld DEH moratorium on the development, and then, later, much slower development. The other, ended up in court, on the behalf of the ACF. Money passed behind closed doors, even the courts ruled in ACF’s favour, but, the development stumbled ahead – the lesson was learnt that corruption, and greed are still alive and well on the planet. More lessons? The purpose? To stay firmly in your vision, and to keep the vision of caring for the land alive.
And, above all, at least find something in the submission that may be later used, at least, somewhere else.
Greed is pretty smart, and sneaky. But, in the end, it eats itself, and nature continues on its way regardless. It is the love and that vision of love and caring, helping others, that distinguishes the greedy developer from the caring one.
