A Development Application (DA) by Halpin Pty Group has been submitted to Cairns Regional Council on 27/01/22. The Reference number is 11526/2022.
The Development Application is for a self-storage facility and warehouses. The application includes a Material Change of Use for the lot.
UPDATE (23rd August 2022)
Just by way of an update, Sarah was invited by Council to make a closed door presentation along with Planner Liz Taylor. Yesterday she gave a rundown over coffee here, about 10 people showed up which was good. One even brought a great cake she baked!
Sounds like Sarah could not have done a better job. Focussed on key issues, had a good response and on top of commenting in the context of the planning scheme, presented concerns re the nature of the development. Still sounds like an uphill battle because the Halpin fella sounds like a fighter but I reckon we all could not have done a better job with our submissions and focus in general.
So now we wait and see, and we will try again to get some media interest.
