Fletcher welcomes Ku-ring-gai Town Centres decision

Federal Member for Bradfield, Mr Paul Fletcher MP, today welcomed the news that the Land and Environment Court has overturned the Ku-ring-gai town centres plan.

"The Ku-ring-gai Town Centres Plan  was an eleventh hour decision by the former New South Wales Labor Government to impose an undemocratic plan on Ku-ring-gai – developed by bureaucrats with little knowledge of or sympathy for our area,” Mr Fletcher said.

“This was yet another element in Labor's vengeful approach to planning in Ku-ring-gai – and its determination to remove key planning powers from the democratically elected local council.”

“I congratulate the Friends of Turramurra action group on the success of their action.”
