Forum calls for some proper order in Apollo Bay planning


Should it be Ammendment C29, C17 or C55 that gets approved first?
Are Colac Otway Council really serious about putting the strategy before the specifics? The locals Otway Forum click here are very clear that the strategy should drive development - not the other way around .

Quite sound and simple really : To approve C29 or C17 before a review of C55 is clearly to put the cart before the horse--whoever owns the land and however good it is for housing.

Adding greatly to COTshire's lack of credibility is their unreasonable haste and insistence that the truckload of genuine questions about the appropriateness of any future development on either ammendment site are invalid - if the new councillors don't want to be the subject of target (for poor planning) practice , they need to check the many questions of liability and risk have indeed been answered .

Note how C29 compromises what should be a clear landscape boundary between apollo bay and marengo .How C29 compromises landscape interest along the Barham river road. Locations only approximate. For info on Colac click here
