North Stoneville Structure Plan refused over bushfire risks
The State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) has upheld the refusal of Structure Plan 34 – North Stoneville, finding that the proposal could not be “saved” through modifications. The Tribunal’s decision centred on community safety, associated with unresolved bushfire and evacuation risks, as well as significant concerns about traffic impacts and the reliability of the supporting technical evidence.
