1. I first lodged my complaint with the Shire early September and I keep getting shoved from one department to another. The latest is that I am still waiting on a response from the Compliance Department as of 19th November. My complaint is in regards to a shipping container on the property at 8 Carly Place, tootgarook. According to the person I spoke to on 19th November, there is no permit for it and the Compliance Department would investigate and get back to me. Unfortunately, I am still waiting! I now see they are applying for a permit for a Shed - Vicsmart, whatever that is. The lack of response from the Shire is not good enough and I would appreciate a response ASAP. Thank you.

2. Hi Lynette,
   I know exactly how you feel and my sympathy with you; Notwithstanding, my circumstances are different.
   I followed what I considered to be reasonable and considerate protocol when I checked with the Shire regards to locating a temporary storage shipping container on our local property.
   It was explained clearly that it is prohibited to place any such structure between the existing house structure and the front boundary. Whereupon I commissioned plans to be prepared and applied for a building permit to accomodate our need.
   The cost was great, however I was pleased to have taken counsel from Shire officers. What annoys the heck out of me more than ever now is the number of shipping containers located in front yards in what appears to be a violation of Shire regulations.
   I think the Shire could do better in explaining and distributing, in clear language, building and planning requirements for suburban allotments.
