Is no news good news?

Well 9 days since the Planning Panel held their teleconference to hear from locals against the development and also the proponent, Landcom. The Planning Panel advises via their website and correspondence that they will advise of their decision/outcome from their meeting within 7 days of that meeting, but so far nothing. Is this good or bad news?

I wish I had the answer, what it does do is provide more opportunity for us as a community to talk to local Lake Macquarie Councillors and ask questions about why they support the destruction of our local environment, why they think it is a good idea to clear this sensitive area, why a development application that has been in the system for 8 years and has had so many problems should get their support to destroy 12 hectares and impact a further 26 hectares in a negative way of your neighbourhood.

Perhaps you might want to let Councillors know that with over 2000 signatures gathered locally against this inappropriate development, why have they not represented our concerns against the development, they could of opposed it, they can still make our voice heard.

I've provided their emails below if you want to contact them with your opinion about this proposed development.
