If you would like to be kept up to date on any particular issue just let my Assistant Justine know, and you will be kept in the loop as it happens! “Planning for Growth” is a new email group with only 54 residents currently being kept up to date as reports come to Council and changes are made. I fully support Unley Council working with the State Government to achieve a liveable, vibrant, cool green city for the future. Our Council Assessment Panel (CAP) makes decisions based on the rules set by the SA Government. Rules for space and planting trees have no incentives for new developments to comply! Hence as we run out of Council land to plant trees on, without change, we will cook.

The newsletter tells the story of Terry and Sue, a story with no winter’s sun and overbearing development next door!

I am proud of our Council and so grateful for your feedback on our Planning for Growth. You have armed us to work with the SA Government and advocate for our future.

I hope to see you this Saturday for RICE, 12.00 noon -6.00 pm Oxford Tce … details in newsletter!

 

With my best wishes,

                          Michael
