This is a sad story of the residents of Darwin being ignored by what was once an organisation that was able to engage with community.
Now riding roughshod over the contentious issues of:
- mass tree clearing in environmentally sensitive areas
- high density housing with cheek and jowl buildings
- limited public open space, children playing on streets
- endangered wildlife exposed to domestic animals and
- Tropical architechture
Defence Housing Australia (DHA) have ignored calls for consultation, only relenting when PLan officers contacted the masters down south. Then the meeting was superficial and it was made clear this is a done deal.
Good afternoon,
The Darwin DCA previously deferred the application to subdivide 283 lots in 5 stages at Lot 9370, Town of Nightcliff. The applicant has now submitted further information including an amended master plan and advice from the EPA to address the matters of deferral. A copy of the deferral and the further information is attached.
You are welcome to review the further information provided and can provide further comments. Please provide any further comments via email to adelle.godfrey@nt.gov.au by Thursday 14th February (next week) so that they can be included in the report to the DCA. Alternatively you can submit further written/verbal comments to the DCA at the hearing if this is preferred. If you would like to discuss the deferral or further information provided, please contact Adelle Godfrey on 8999 6359 (Wed –Fri).
