Glen Eira Council has in the past distinguished itself through its less than staggering performance in the VEAC submission on open space. Now there is the formal submission to the Minister’s Planning Zone reforms. It is barely two and a half pages long.

We are not suggesting that length is commensurate with quality but, when one reads the following submissions, the detail and arguments provided certainly put Glen Eira’s effort to shame. Further, whilst the Glen Eira opus barely mentions third party rights, this is prominent in most of the other council submissions.
