• Worrigee Subdivision Update (File DA09/1735)
  
  18 Feb 2010
  The independent consultant engaged by Council to assess this application identified various deficiencies. The applicant has now lodged further revised plans and some reports, however other reports remain outstanding. Planning laws do not restrict the number of revised plans that can be submitted during the assessment process. The revised details will be re-notified once the outstanding reports are submitted. Submissions previously lodged will still be considered for the revised application. A report to Council will be prepared at the conclusion of the notification/referral period, once all information has been received and reviewed.
  
  29 Sep 2009
  Amended plans and reports have been submitted by applicant. These supersede earlier versions of the documents which become redundant. Only the latest versions are considered in the assessment. This is not unusual and is permitted by the relevant legislation. In response to the concerns related to Council’s prior ownership of the subject land, independent consultants have been contacted to assess the application rather than Council staff. Submissions previously lodged will still be considered for the amended application. Following the completion of the assessment, the application will be reported to the elected Council for a decision.
