Mosman Council raises major issues with Woolworths’ DA

Mosman Council’s Executive Town Planner has raised numerous substantive issues in relation to Woolworths’ development application for a Metro supermarket in the heart of Mosman village.

In a letter from Council to Woolworths dated 20 May 2020, the Executive Town Planner states that 26 major issues must be addressed to progress the assessment of the application.

The letter addresses many issues raised earlier this year in more than 500 community submissions expressing concern and opposition to the proposed Woolworths’ development.

Given the extraordinarily high level of community concern and engagement it is very encouraging that Council’s initial formal response to Woolworths’ application thoroughly addresses so many of the issues raised in the community submissions.

Thank you again to all who took the time to consider and express your views on the proposed Woolworths’ development.

Council requires Woolworths to provide a full response to the issues raised by 3 June 2020.

Council has also suggested that Woolworths “may wish to consider withdrawing the application”.

We will keep you posted as the matter progresses.

In the meantime, please stay safe and well. And keep supporting our wonderful local shops and businesses!
