SUMMARY

The matter concerned an application to review the refusal of the Glenelg Shire Council to grant a construction permit for a construction. During the application process, environmental overlays came into effect. These were the reasons given for the refusal of the granting of the permit. The Tribunal upheld the refusal of the permit, citing concerns that the development would increase flooding risks, interfere with natural drainage, removal of vegetation, and concerns over the impact of the development on fire risk.
