READ NOW“It’s important to find a solution through the consultancy work that addresses the concerns of residents living in the housing opportunity areas and still meets the State Government’s aims and objectives in relation to infill development,” planning and community development director Dale Page said.
“It’s also important to make sure the scope of the consultancy has the support from the State Government to prevent delays and resistance down the track.”
Ms Page said the tender would close on June 6 and included about 23 weeks to develop a strategy and conduct early community consultation.
At the end of the 23 weeks, the City would conduct more consultation on the strategy they developed before council makes a final decision.
