February 2021 Council meeting briefs

February 2021 Council meeting briefs Development Applications Conditional approval subject to concurrence from the NSW Department of Planning, Industry & Environment was granted for a Development Application for a dwelling house and workshop on Wargeila Road, Bango. Council considered that the DA was consistent with surrounding lot sizes and dwellings and supportive of the environmental management of the land. A Development Application for a revised shed in Gundaroo has been approved, subject to a reduction in wall plate and pitch height. A condition has been included that strictly prohibits the shed for business and industrial purposes. Conditional Development Consent has been issued for a two lot subdivision in Gundaroo. As part of this, it was also resolved that the opening of David Street be considered as part of the 2021/22 budget process. Fixing Country Bridges Program Grant

Council accepted a grant offer of $288,000 under the NSW Fixing Country Bridges Grant Program for the replacement of the Bango Lane timber road bridge. Council will contribute $50,000 from the State Roads Reserve and the project will be included in the 2020/21 Operational Plan.
