More work ahead as the list grows.

Darebin Council has made it harder to see what is ‘on advertising’  on their website by removing the list under the link ‘What’s Gong On’.

The only way you can find current planning application is to enter an actual address or application number, which means you have to know them already, or trawl the full list looking at the status column for ‘on advertising’, around 20 pages in.   So, it is back to walking your neighbourhood and looking for the yellow and green signs on fences or isf you are really close, you might get a letter.

Alternatively ring Darebin Planning and ask.

In today’s list there are at least 10 worthy of attention, including x2 with no plans;
