| Subject: OZschwitz slave pen: Councils named and shamed over DA approvals Fri Feb 17, 2012 10:31 pm | |
| TRYING to build a new house or renovate? Bad luck if your council is Leichhardt or Mosman. Leichhardt's Greens council and Mosman's independent council are among the slowest in the state when it comes to deciding development applications, a new report shows.
But the Greens-dominated Marrickville Council, which was slammed for neglecting its core business of roads, rates and rubbish, made the biggest improvement of any NSW council. It cut 22 days from the average DA processing time to bring it down to 74, the average for urban councils.
The Planning Minister, Brad Hazzard, today released the 2010-2011 planning report card, naming and shaming councils that drag their feet on development applications.
