Information 'not included', says Freewater

Cr Peter Freewater has claimed that Council staff failed to include pertinent information in a report on a development application for three refreshment rooms at the Empire Bay Service Station.

The application came to Council at its ordinary meeting of Tuesday, September 27, for approval.

According to Cr Freewater, it lacked "considerable important content".

"Much of this content was provided by the community and luckily some amendments were made before it was finally approved," he said.

"However, there are many questions that remain unanswered, not the least of which is why is it the community could easily access the correct information that needed to accompany this DA (such as Court Orders pertaining to any development on this site) rather than Council," he said.
