The real story of planning a development through Woollahra Council.


12 months and counting

It has been 12 months (almost to the day) since we (my partner and 2 young kids) bought our new house which lies under the ’shadow’ of Woollahra Council. Despite promises verbal and written we are no closer to having this DA approved

We had it refused (incorrectly) and were asked to resubmit the same plans and promised an expedited process of approval. It has still not happened.

Honesty, transparency and helpfulness should be the currency of any Council. After all don’t we pay their wages through our taxes and rates bills?

At this point in time I am planning to seek help from persons outside the planning department to help get to the bottom of this.
