19 August 2013- The Urban Taskforce understands that the draft Botany Bay Dev and replace all the existing plans and policies that apply to the majority land within the City of Botany Bay. We generally support efforts made by councils to consolidate plans, thereby removing some of the complexity from the planning process. We also see great value in this process as it often results in a review and refinement of development controls. However, upon review of your draft plan, a number of proposed controls raise serious concerns.
