With the revised TOD scenario, submissions closed last week and Council is now reviewing the feedback to consider potential refinements.
Residents have also contacted councillors individually with their feedback, so I’ve done the best that I can to summarise the major issues for Roseville Ward. I am catching up with our staff later this week to confirm that they have understood these issues, but whether they take the feedback on board and make changes is something that’s out of my control. (Councillors cannot tell operational staff what to do.)
If there are any outstanding issues that make it through to the final staff recommendation (mid/late-May), I may consider whether it’s big enough of a deal to propose changes on the floor of council and ask councillors to conscience vote on each issue separately.
Council should be finished before the end of May. Then it’s up to the State Department of Planning to review and update our Local Environment Plan.
