TRADES & SERVICES ZONING IN THE FRASER COAST
FRASER COAST COUNCIL
and the confusing Trades & Services Zoning application.
Word is out from a reliable source that there will be clearer defined uses under this zoning instead of the current instead of ‘see how we feel on the day’ approach by council when looking to use the land/shed for a trade or service.
It is not before time that this is to happen to give a clearer picture to both the developers and the incoming tenant or buyer of such zoned land.
Currently there is no incentive for anybody to go forward with sale contracts or business commencement in a timely fashion as it is left to council to make decisions that from experience are fraught with huge crippling delays and expenses.
No wonder council crys poor from lack of funds from developers.
‘There is also a concern that the majority of councillors are women, who are good at what they do generally in council but who perhaps do not full understand the complexities & risks of development’ it is said.
Increasing charges to developers is certainly not the way to go & just destroys any incentives necessary to move forward .
We have heard all of this before from the spin doctors in council.
Let’s see where this all takes us over the next few months
