The DSCA has made a formal submission to the City of Greater Geelong's Special Charge for drainage works in the area bounded by Jetty Road, Thomas Street, Ada Street and Central Road.
In summary, DCSCA is arguing that the 'Special Charge' shouldn't be levied for six reasons:
1. The proposal to levy a 'Special Charge' includes no evidence that the proposed drain will be fit for purpose.
2. The timing of public consultation around the proposed 'Special Charge' has excluded many local voices.
3. The public consultation around the proposed 'Special Charge' has been conducted inappropriately.
4. The proposed 'Special Charge' would threaten the financial security and well-being of local landowners.
5. The Council has provided no evidence that the local infrastructure will accommodate the proposed developments in Central Road.
6. The proposed 'Special Charge' contradicts CoGG's Structure Plan for Drysdale & Clifton Springs.
