Aneta Katny asked the following questions in relation to the Northern Growth Project:
Why is our land being rezoned in two years’ time when all it will provide us with is raised rates when nothing is meant to be changing in our area for at least a decade?
The City approved the rural Lovely Banks area for redevelopment in 2013 - why did the Council approve building permits for dream homes since this date knowing they would be potentially acquired?
Acting Director Planning and Development, Joanne Van Slageren, took the questions on notice for a written response.
