DAL Standing Advisory Committee\u2019s<\/a> public hearing, which will begin on March 15 and run for four to five weeks.<\/p>\n\u201cWe don\u2019t have any funding at this stage so we are looking for someone local who may wish to do it pro bono,\u201d the post said. \u201cWe expect the Option 1 enthusiasts will have legal reps and expert witnesses to persuade the panel why urban development of the Spring Creek valley is a good thing, so we need to put up a good case to counteract that.\u201d<\/p>\n
GT Alliance supports Option 2 in the DAL\u2019s draft Statement of Planning Policy, which rules out any development in the valley west of Duffields Road.<\/p>\n
Last week, GT Alliance president Andrew Cherubin said the search was \u201clooking quite promising at the moment\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re looking up a couple of avenues,\u201d Mr Cherubin said. \u201cDefinitely someone with experience in planning law is what we\u2019re hoping for.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn terms of pro bono, this DAL process is relatively new for Victoria, so we\u2019re sort of hoping someone wants to come in and establish some bona fides for future things that might come up for them; there might be an avenue for them to say \u2018I\u2019ll do it pro bono and get a bit of experience in a field that is quite new\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re also hopeful that we might gather the funds for a barrister who might not go full pro bono but might come partway.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Cherubin said the GT Alliance was feeling confident about the overall Surf Coast DAL process.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, it was brought about because Daniel Andrews and Darren Cheeseman made promises at the state election, and the DAL process has come from those, so we\u2019re hoping they stick to their guns.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
