Most Council's have these freely available online and there are usually different schedules per development type. ie; Residential, Medium Density, Comercial, Industrial, etc. What is the current zoning of the block in question? In the development proposal, is the developer trying to get the zoned changed to cater for the increased density? Are you an adjoining property owner to the proposed development site? See if you can get a copy of the Development Application that was submitted to the Council as the DA will contain details as to ewhat the developer wants to acheive for the site. As previously stated, Infrastructure, traffic management, and car parking are always issues with increased density housing. Loss of privacy and loss of solar access of adjoining properties via development height can also be used as a point of argument against the proposal. Hope this helps. Rgds Leonard. |
