Chifley unit development stopped by residents group

The lesson is clear: ACTPLA, lift your game and don’t approve developments that breach the Territory Plan.

Doing this one thing would go a long way towards making everyone’s life easier in planning and development world.

There is no way on earth a residents’ group should have to take court action to enforce the statutory planning documents.

Do the Minister’s call-in powers, when used, avoid bothersome scrutiny like this?

It’s a real balancing act, between allowing development while still prsserving desirable neighbourhood character. I think the proposed development is too big also. There are places where housing like this can be built closer to the major town centres. The ‘burbs are for houses and some town houses.
