Council's reply to the 7 storey 54 units in Yorkeys Knob

Ssshhhh say nothing

 Yorkeys Knob Residents Assoc  learned through the media in November 2015 http://www.cairnspost.com.au/business/yorkeys-knob-highrise-development-approved-by-council/news-story/bb369871ac82fa931ed2214a003d8763
that the council had signed off on the construction of a 7 storey 54 unit complex in Atherton St, Yorkeys Knob without any consultation with the community.
After reading the councils reply you can understand why they don't have to consult with the community, read paragraph 3 and 4.
Typical council getting away without consultation as they knew that there would people asking questions.
Yorkeys Knob Assoc were told in November 2015 by Division 8 councillor Jessie Richardson at the completion of her bi-monthly report that the "Atherton St was going ahead" without explaining what the work was.
Also it's been discovered that the application went to council in May 2015 yet during the following 6 months and the commumunity had not been advised and keeping in mind that this will be the tallest construction on the Northern Beaches.
