Application Fee We seek to advise Council that this application is being made, as it has been brought to our attention that Planning Permit PP241/2019-1 has lapsed. This is a result of our response to Council's further information request being submitted on Friday 3 April 2020, and in accordance with Council's letter dated 28 January 2020, this information was required to be lodged on or by 1 April 2020.

This was an error on our behalf and as such we are now submitting a new planning permit application.

In light of the current circumstances, in particular the economic pressures that COVID-19 has placed on the economy and the current working situation for all involved, we request that the planning permit application fee for this new application is waived. Essentially the application fee paid for PP241/2019-1 would be rolled over to this new application.

Should Council have any questions regarding the proposal and the attached documentation please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind Regards
