Questions to Council re the 10 story development proposal for bridge rd - planning permit PL07/0876
- Why, when council received the planning application on the 24/09/2007, did it wait until more than two months (until 29/11/2007) to advertise it to residents - thus only allowing them the few weeks over xmas to respond?
- Until what date does council have (had) to make a decision before the applicant can go directly to VCAT because council hasn't made a decision?
- On what date did they developer start talking to Council about this development (assuming it was pre application)? Were ward councilors involved?
- Will the planning decision for this application be made by an officer under delegation, IDAC, or the full Council?
- Given the wide spread concern these types of developments create, how widely did council letter box to notify residents about it? Were any adds taken out in the local media?

Your Question 4
Forget about asking Yarra City Council about the application decision and IDAC. I recently posed the same question (twice) about another permit aplication via emails to City Of Yarra and it would seem that they don't want to respond. Maybe a resonse is still on the way - as they have previously told me that they allow themselves "ten days" to respond to emails.
I would have thought that that I was well within my legal right to have access to this information. - so much for transparency!
