Cr Johnston is perplexed that a code-assessable development application in Northgate Ward is being brought before Council. "We've got so many important issues that we should be considering...This is a 5-storey area, this is a 5-storey development."

She says bringing this to Council is a bit of "an own goal", because it highlights how bad the development actually is. Just a 40 cm setback to the front boundary, in an area with significant road widening.
