Council Development
Services
officers
have advised the
applicant that during
two
pre-lodgement
meetings and at the
application’s Further
Information stage, that
this is unacceptable.
However,
the
Cr Ted Hungerford
applicant
has
refused to modify
the development proposal to remove
the worsening in flood conditions for the
upstream properties.
Allowing development to create a worsening
in flood conditions to other properties is
not only inconsistent with the planning
scheme’s Strategic Framework, but could
expose Council to the risk of legal action by
an affected property owner, if it knowingly
allowed that property owner to be affected.

I am required to give due diligence to all
aspects of a development application,” Cr
Hungerford tells LiQUiFY.
“In carrying out my duties in the community’s
interest, you can be assured I will continue
to ensure the issues with this development
are adequately addressed in the future
assessment of this application.”
As For The Wavepool Itself - Can It Truly
Work?
Designer Greg Webber is confident he’s on
the verge of creating something amazing,
something that might be the best thing in
surfing since the thruster, tow surfing, or even
the fibreglass board itself.
It’s a radical design, patented and modelled
to produced world-class waves at the flick
of a switch, from beginner type surf up to
overhead dredging super sucking barrels
with the whole thing controlled by a computer
system wired to the machines - enabling
instant small adjustments to the hull angles,
