Is it a home or a hostel or a ?
The NT Government is calling for comments on the current Planning Review. Before you move right along consider this; This proposed house at Claymore Circuit Brinkin was passed un challenged by NT gov https://planinc.org.au/news/current-campaigns/241-claymore.html except that the proponent had needed to put the 32 air conditioners on the third floor.
Now a three story residential home is possible but with eight bedrooms with each bedroom with an en suite and a second sink in the walk in robe it starts to get a bit less home and more like a hostel.
So please have a look and decide for yourself, is it is a home or hostel? Then have a look at the planning reform which will stream line development applications.
If an 8 bedroom, 32 air conditioner, 3 car park building with 1.6 metre boundaries was going in next door to your place and there was no issue under current planning rules would you like a chance to have your say?
It is our belief that the planning reform review https://planinc.org.au/news/current-campaigns-3.html is a great chance to remind government who they are planning for.
Here is a summary of some of this years issues: https://planinc.org.au/news/current-campaigns-3/244-2019-snapshot-2.html
See you soon!
