“We are working to identify and clarify the changes as soon as possible,” the Department’s Secretary Jim Betts said.
“We regret the uncertainty around some of details and any inconvenience this may have caused.
“Senior representatives from the Department met with Council’s senior planning staff yesterday (Monday Oct 21st) . We continue to work to swiftly resolve this issue and discuss any additional concerns that Council have with the finalised LEP.”
“I thank the Council and the community for their patience."
