This is just another reminder that representations on the current development plan amendment DPA 3A close on 22 February. That is just 12 days away.

Judging from the observations made at a recent forum hosted by the Friends of the City of Unley Society (FOCUS) you have similar views to those we at council have expressed to the Minister. These include items that DPTI on behalf of the Minister are saying are non-negotiable.

This includes but is not limited to the angle determined to establish the envelope within which a new building can be built (45 degrees compared to council’s preferred at 30 degrees), set backs, and notification restrictions.

I again encourage you to check the plan out and make representation if you have any concerns.

In so doing you will be able to attend the public hearing for representors to be held by Council on the 18 March 2013.
