1. What minor modification requires a cost of $1.2 million?
   The amended application could not be found on the council website. This often occurs when trying to view development application details on council's website, whether it is a new, old or an amended DA. It only allows for the notice that a minor modification amendment was applied on 22 January 2019. However the notices to do the "deep excavation" was posted on the cyclone fencing surrounding this property 4 months plus ago, without a council DA notice. There is a reference to the 2015 DA application posted on trees on council footpaths surrounding this property.
   The applicant has put up cyclone fencing with the notices for "deep excavation" and council told residents that the fencing was to protect the property from "break- ins", it makes no reference to the intention on the notices on the property about excavation and demolish.
   As the property has been painted a dark grey in 2018, making it very unappealing and causing a heat trap, it has now remained empty for most of 2018 and into 2019. It would be uninhabitable for tenants in this heat. This belies the owners promotion of this property being available for affordable housing in the original DA.
   Again the original DA has no currency given the property has not been re-zoned from it's original R2 zoning in keeping with the rest of the street. Apparently no one else is permitted to build 2 storeys to their houses as the zoning, cadastral pattern and planning for the street does not allow it. This plan is not transparent and neither has the process by which the owner is stealthily proceeding.
