Consistent with what?

In the Peninsula News (May 1), a report on Development Application (DA) 51904/2017 states that according to the DA, that it is "consistent with the strategic directions of the Central Coast Regional Strategy 2036 (what section and page does this refer to?)

The introductory page states that the plan provides an overarching framework "that will guide the preparation of detailed land use plans".

The need for the Central Coast Council to have ongoing developer forums suggests that "detailed land use plans" are under discussion, but if these plans or preliminary details are available to developers, they should also be available and referred to the community for discussion.

Without this information, it is impossible to comment on such DA's as 51904/2017; the council has made this so called "level playing field "available to a select group and excluded the community.

The main strategy of the CC Regional Strategy 2036 "listen and work with all stakeholders and the community", on Page 6, is yet to be achieved, according to replies to ACF-CC correspondence.
