Locals "still have no voice"

An article in the Sydney Morning Herald describes how the Ku-ring-gai Planning Panel has had its life extended. The panel was created in 2008 by the NSW Government to take away Ku-ring-gai Council's planning powers.
Meanwhile medium density development continues to anger locals who find their heritage and bushland being "trashed" by bulldozers. Certainly the examples described in the article seem fully to justify the word "trashed". One resident in Roseville is quoted as saying "the most offensive thing to me about all this is the residents have had absolutely no say whatsoever in what has happened to their neighbourhood".
All food for thought to those wondering how to change our futures for the better.
