Reasons needed for large development

The Newbold report on the PUDS (Peninsula Urban Directions Strategy) quoted a staggering figure of $100 million being needed to fix current drainage problems in the Peninsula area.

Surely this brings into question whether any large development should be allowed to proceed at present.

The approval by council, against the advice of professional staff, of the Bowden Rd development must be seen as disturbing, if not to say alarming.

Does this mean that any application regardless of size and other considerations will be allowed to go ahead?

Cr Latella is right in saying that council at least should give its constituents its reasoning for approving this development.
