WRITING TO OUR STATE MEMBER, FEDERAL MEMBER and ALL SSC COUNCILLORS
We have received advice to strongly encourage you to write not only to Council with your objections, but to also write to your State Member, Federal Member and all of the SSC Councillors individually. We know that this may take time but we have been informed that it is well worth the effort. At the end of this email you will find contact details of all of these people. We are also aware that contacting these people by Twitter and phoning them is very effective.
IMPORTANCE OF WRITING TO COUNCIL in addition to signing our petition.
Aside from the obvious need to write to the council outlining your concerns regarding this proposed development, we are now aware that unless you write to the council personally, you would not recieve an invitation to attend a meeting with an Independant Hearing and Assessment Panel.
The role of the IHAP is to "consider unresolved objections and makes recommendations for the council to determine".
It is our understanding that you are not invited to these type of meetings if you have only signed a petition.
This is crucial therefore that you write to council personally, if you want the opportunity to have your say at an IHAP meeting. "Applicants and objectors are invited, in writing, to attend IHAP to address the panel. Once the panel has considered an application, there is no further opportunity for applicants or objectors to address the Environment and Planning Committee or a full council meeting." Further information on IHAP is available on the council website.
