Cr Johnston is perplexed that a code-assessable development application in Northgate Ward is being brought before Council. “We’ve got so many important issues that we should be considering…This is a 5-storey area, this is a 5-storey development.”
She says bringing this to Council is a bit of “an own goal”, because it highlights how bad the development actually is. Just a 40 cm setback to the front boundary, in an area with significant road widening.
Cr Allan criticises Cr Johnston’s “negative view on this”. Says it’s “not appropriate when we’re facing a housing crisis.” He says the 40 cm setback is at its narrowest and most of it will be set back quite a bit further.
