Permit Application for two townhouses at 70 Armstrongs Road, Seaford (in addition to the current dwelling).
Agenda item for this Monday 3 March Frankston Council meeting.
This application clearly contradicts planning regulations.

Please refer attached relevant section of Agenda.

Full Agenda here ==> http://www.frankston.vic.gov.au/files/e ... _March.pdf
See Page 5

At our request, Cr James Dooley called the issue into Council last December before a recommendation had been made.
Council Officers have now recommended that the application be refused.

It would be useful to have at least one person address the Council to strongly support the officer's recommendation and their justifications.
A few in the gallery will also demonstrate the strong community interest in the Wetlands.

Submissions at Council Meetings http://www.frankston.vic.gov.au/Your_Co ... s/Meetings The intention to make a submission to Council at a Council meeting must be pre-registered with Council's Governance unit by 4pm on the day of the meeting. Phone 9784 1816 or register using the web form.
