Mowbray Precinct DA’s refused due to fire risk and Batten Reserve impacts

Posted: May 19th, 2011 | Filed under: Announcements, Current Issues, Media, Mowbray Precinct

The Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP)  unanimously refused three Mowbray Precinct development applications last night due to the lack of expert opinion available to satisfy the JRPP that the road network could cope with the increased density of population in the case of a bushfire evacuation, and the lack of impact studies on the flora and fauna of the Batten Reserve.
