Bellarine Times reports "Residents angry they are being forced to pay special charge for new stormwater drainage"
The Bellarine Times article this week (8 February 2010 - page 1), by Eleanor Woods reports:
Residents in Central Road, which links Drysdale and Clifton Springs, are furious at ‘special charges' that City of Greater Geelong are imposing on them to help pay for stormwater drainage to service a new retirement village.
Developer, Pinnacle Living, agreed to pay close to $1.5million upfront for the drains in an agreement that council would recover more than three quarters of that from residents through the special charge scheme.
Council is locked in this legal agreement and must reimburse Pinnacle Living or face a penalty of close to $1.1million.
More information is available from the Bellarine Times.
