Friends of Houghton Valley: Coral of Houghton Bay Rd wrote; “More than 30 interested supporters turned up to hear Barrister Graham Taylor speak about preparations for a Judicial Review of WCC’s decision to grant a non-notified consent to build 13 houses at 215 Houghton Bay Rd. After looking at Council information relating to their decision, Graham explained that some key facts were not considered in their decision and feels that we can win a review of the decision.” Read full report.
Options Report: Nikki Wood from the City Council advises they expect shortly the final options report from Cardno consultancy on Lifting the Creek. They will then come to a Community Garden Sunday afternoon tea to share and discuss the staging proposed.
