14 Florence Street Development:
The owners of 14 Florence Street (which borders The Mews to the north/west) have submitted plans to council for a 4 floor development on the site and are asking for many of the design codes to be relaxed or removed. We believe that this development would have a detrimental impact on the area and particularly to the neighbouring properties including The Mews. We petitioned owners and almost 100% of owners responded in support of the rejection of this proposal. The JDAP review board unanimously rejected the application and the developer is currently challenging that decision in the SAT (State Administrative Tribunal). The next hearing is during December, if you would like to attend please let us know.

Replacement of Boundary Fence (161 Charles Street):
We are currently liaising with the owners of 161 Charles Street with regards to the replacement of the boundary fence between our properties. We have not set a date for the works to start, however as the fence is failing we expect them to start sometime in early 2019.
