The below is an extract from email received from a concerned local back in ....wait for it, JANUARY 2013!!!....Yep that is over 12 months ago!!!! Just how serious is council on this matter, one must wonder. The owner of this property has now been formally advised in writing that he is in breach of both the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979 and the Local Government (Manufactured Home Estates, Caravan Parks, Camping Grounds and Moveable Dwellings) Regulation 2005. Generally speaking, Council approval is not required if it is intended to install and occupy a maximum of two tents or caravans or campervans or any combination of these provided that: · there is no more than 2 such items; · they are not occupied for more than 2 days at a time; and · they are not occupied for more than 60 days in total in any single period of 12 months. Some confusion may have existed in the past about the ongoing presence of these items whilst not being occupied. However, on closer reading Council staff have taken the position that this clause prevents the installation as well as the occupation of these excess tents and caravans. The owner has been instructed to remove the surplus tents, caravans or campervans to reduce the number to no more 2 items. Failure to comply will result in legal action without further notice. The site will continue to be monitored in the future for unauthorised occupations YET NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!
