I accept what a person says is their truth but doesnt have to be mine and have dealt with many different Public Service offices in different countries. As appropriate I researched and consulted before starting a home project. The consultant I used I seemed to get along well with but thats a different review. When put in touch with the staff of this government office I found them a contrast to what gossip I had heard in they are friendly, dedicated and collaborative...like minded project successful folks. The various phases and processes needed to bring my project to full completion were laid out and they accepted I had a Land Use Plan; the exact dimensions are needed but I couldnt do that because the survey pins were missing on the West side of the property and I was on a wait list with a couple surveyors. As much as I would like Im trying to dispel the myth that, at least these professionals, this planning department are about everything you would ever want to deal with; that the delays in my project are of an unprofessional neighbor creating painful drama in a denial of water and power to and extort money ($10 000) out of a physically disabled person (me)...but this office has nothing to do with it in any way shape or form. read more
