http://www.theage.com.au/news/National/ ... 68385.html Extracts: The report reveals the slowest councils for determining development applications are Leichhardt, which takes an average 185 days, Strathfield (158 days), Canterbury (152 days), Ashfield (130 days) and Botany Bay (115 days). Ku-ring-gai had the worst record, with 90 per cent of appeals against its decisions upheld in the Land and Environment Court. Close behind was Baulkham Hills (89 per cent upheld), Blue Mountains (85 per cent) and Wingecarribee (83 per cent). Not surprisingly, Ku-ring-gai council also had the highest reported legal costs - $1 million in 2005-06 - followed by Baulkham Hills ($989,994), North Sydney ($893,838), Pittwater ($875,446) and Leichhardt ($751,605).

Can't wait till construction begins for you. I'll be very interested to know how you found Allcastle. Keep up the good blog work. Re: NSW councils warned on processing time 4Jul 18, 2007 4:50 pm Thanks Mark!
We have been chasing AllCastle up on the exact starting date as well. Our understanding is, they suppose to send a letter to inform us the official start date, but we still haven't receive anything yet. Makes me angry watching the empty block in such a beautiful weather without any work Cheers Allan http://building-our-first-house.blogspot.com/ Current stage: old house demolished, contract signed, fence ready, waiting for excavation to start... Re: NSW councils warned on processing time 5Jul 18, 2007 8:10 pm whoo whoo.. I made it to Allan's blog!
Actually, Strathfield lost it's first spot now! How pathetic is Ku-ring-gai?! I remember Ku-ring-gai being the most expensive in Clarendon's 'council based fee' structure. Re: NSW councils warned on processing time 6Jul 27, 2007 5:50 pm Source of this article is:
