In December 2015 the Joint Regional Planning Panel approved a DA for a $23 million development comprising 87 residential dwellings, mixed use development, stormwater management facility, roads and subdivision at 142-146 Dudley Rd and 2-4 Kopa St Whitebridge. This approval was given contrary to the views and submissions of the democratically elected Council, and certainly contrary to the wishes and submissions of the local and wider community.

Now, and this is why I am here today, SNL developments has submitted a proposal to increase the height of the building back up to 4 storeys. That proposal would result in the LEP height being overshot by 40%.

How SNL can do this, legally and morally, outrages and confounds me!
