More Clarification on C81

Hi Mario

The Council voted to adopt the amended policies on the 16th December 2008 – see agenda item 8.2 of minutes. They say that it is just a rewriting of the policies to simplify them and does not change the intent of their policies (which is what they mean by ‘policy neutral’) and without going through the full document with a fine tooth comb I think this is correct. The Housing Strategy is definitely not policy neutral and will result in a further amendment to the policies. This would still be some way off given the Council are looking at the revised policy next week. Note that the am81 took nearly 6 months to be given a tick by State Government (which is what happened yesterday).

Hope this helps.
