The recent news that the aluminium smelt is closing in Kurri Kurri, a town in the Hunter Region of NSW is very sad.

I used to get very excited when an agent called me to say…”Jo, I’ve got a great DA approved site coming up…”   My little heart would pound as I’d eagerly keep checking my emails for the plans and consent to come through.

Is it the draftsperson/architect who is designing them?  Or, perhaps a town planner at council?  Or your lender?  maybe you?  In my opinion not.
