JRPP Defers Decision

THANK YOU! TO ALL TO ATTENDED LAST NIGHT!
At the JRPP Meeting last night the residents of Greendale, Wallacia & Bringelly
presented clear, concise and well thought out submissions to the JRPP.

The applicant presented his case and generally it would be described as being unconvincing
and lacked important details, particularly in how the cemetery would be managed.


After a long evening it appeared that the JRPP was going to refuse the application. We were hopeful!

Nadia Napolitano & Tony Hadchiti attempted to have the matter resolved by refusing the application.

However, this was not to be. The Chairperson and the government representatives used their numbers to:

DEFER THE APPLICATION, REQUESTING MORE DETAILS from the applicant.
They also suggested design changes and more specific groundwater studies.

This means that we are in limbo again, but we HAVE SURVIVED to continue the fight.

The morning news reported that Brad Hazzard is removing the JRPP from deciding these types of applications and referring them to the local council.
