Houston Dearn O'connor Lawyers HOUSTON DEARN O'CONNOR LAWYERS T.J. O'Connor, B.A., LL.B. Our Reference: S. E. Shneider, B.A., Dip Law (LPAB) TOC:JE:113139-450 Senior Associate Your Reference: C.A. Middleton, B.Comm LLM 7 November 2016 The General Manager Bayside Council DX 4108 MAROUBRA JUNCTION NSW Attention to: Catherine McMahon By Email: [email protected] Dear Madam BOTANY BAY CITY COUNCIL & PETER & CHRISTINE KOSTAS PLANNING AGREEMENT - 1153-1155 BOTANY ROAD, MASCOT We refer to your email of last Friday. The writer has obtained the file which was a matter which Mr Houston looked after. From perusing the file the Voluntary Planning Agreements were executed and a copy of the original held by us is attached. Although initially it appeared that the land had not been dedicated as a public road, Council subsequently found out that there was a re-alignment vested in Council on 1 July 1993 such that this was the formal lodgement of a plan to enable the separate block to be created. Interestingly Council is entitled to register a caveat over the title to the property if the Planning Agreement is not registered if the consents have not been obtained from the persons required. The only consent required here is the tenant. We also note that the request registration was sent to the owner' solicitors PT & W Law by Bert Houston on 16 June 2014 together with a copy of the plan for signing by the owner and tenant. We enclose a copy of the plan sent and survey. It was intended to then have the plan signed once returned signed by Council by the owner and his tenant. The return of these documents were pursued with the owner' solicitors on a number of occasions but were never returned. The file then slipped through the cracks when Mr Houston left the firm but the obligation has always been upon the owner to comply with the terms of the Deed. We have not been provided with any correspondence from Council whereupon it was said that Council would not lodge caveat over the title to the property so we are unsure as to where such an agreement was reached. If it was in July last year then nothing came back to us and it would have been inappropriate for the owner' solicitor to be dealing directly with P 0 Box 226 Suite 33, Level 5 Burwood NSW 1805 12 Railway Parade Tel: (02) 9744 9247 DX 8565 Burwood NSW 2134 Fax: (02) 9744 6739 Burwood Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation 1948 AJH:113139-450:1948 2 Council when they knew that we were involved in the matter having pursued Mr Tzannes for return of the signed document up to and including our letter of 25 March 2015. We recommend that if there is nothing binding upon the council regarding the lodgement of caveat, the caveat be lodged at this time over the title and we advise the owner' solicitor that has been done because of the failure to comply with the registration requirements. Not only does the VPA need to be registered over the title there is obligations to sign the linen plan such that the plan can be registered. From perusing the file there are also additional requirements when dealing with LPI which will have to be attended to because of the history of the road dedication. The writer does not propose going into those issues but will deal with them as and when compliance is met with the obligations imposed upon the owner of the land pursuant to the VPA. The suggestion that they will annex the Deed to any sale contract is not appropriate as it could not be enforced. The only way to ensure that happens is to have a caveat registered over the title so that any incoming purchaser is forewarned. We also fail to understand why a figure for costs was put directly to Council when again the owner's solicitor knew that Council was represented by Bert Houston and this firm. The writer will speak to Cathy McMahon about the matter to get confirmation of our instructions to lodge the caveat but we need to see what information is on the file regarding this alleged agreement in July of last year with Council's officer. We therefore suggest that we be instructed to, subject to looking at the alleged agreement first: 1. Lodge a caveat over the title to the property. 2. Write to the developer's solicitor requesting that the plan and request form be signed and returned to us with the name of the Council altered to Bayside Council and initialled by the parties signing their consent to the request form. If we do not receive an appropriate response then there is always the possibility of the Council threatening commencement of Court proceedings seeking to enforce the terms of the Voluntary Planning Agreement. Taking into account that the road has been already dedicated and this is to formalize it whereby the owner does get a benefit one would think that there would be no discretionary argument as to why the Court would not order that the owner comply with the obligations to have the plan registered over the title which then ultimately leads to, on submitting a statutory declaration to LPI, title then issuing to the Council. Please advise us in due course of our instructions. We have undertaken a title search which shows that Peter and Christine Kostas still own the property and the only affectation is the earlier identified lease. 3 We have subsequently been provided with the letter from PT & W. It was highly inappropriate for them to approach Council when they knew we were acting for Council and in any event it does not represent any agreement for 2 reasons. It is merely a request to make changes and incorrectly asks for the "final proposed deed" when the Deed was already executed by both parties. Also Mr Dowsett at that he had no authority to agree to an amended deed. We see no reason why we should not immediately be instructed to lodge the caveat. Yours faithfully HOtMON DEARN O'CONNOR Timothy O'Connor Encl. THIS DEED made the —3 ‘'Q+-- day of 2014 BETWEEN: THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BOTANY BAY of 141 Coward Street, Mascot in the State of New South Wales ("the Council") of the first part AND: PETER KOSTAS and CHRISTINE KOSTAS both of 1161 Botany Road, Mascot in the said State ("the Owners") of the other part WHEREAS: A.

H. On 28 February 2008 the Council received a letter dated 26 February 2008 from solicitors acting on behalf of the Owners, advising of the Owners preparedness to enter into a Planning Agreement with the Council in connection with the Development Application to provide for: (i) dedication by the Owners to the Council as road that part of the Development Site comprising the realignment strip; (ii) waiver by Council of a Section 94 Contribution in respect of the development the subject of the Development Application in lieu of payment of compensation in resect of the acquisition of the realignment strip; and (iii) Council permitting the Owners to continue to use the realignment strip until notification by the Council of its requirement to use it for road purposes, subject to the Owners maintaining the land comprising the realignment strip at their cost during such period of occupation.

  • Botany Exhumed by Robert H Horton
    Botany Exhumed By Robert H. Horton Botany Exhumed Digitised newspapers on Trove, the availability of British 18th and 19th century newspapers on line, and Ancestry, has surely provided enough material to make something of our nation’s past, which is both a quality and entertaining product. Whilst the British have provided the world with Downton Abbey, where are we, Australia in creating the like. Why this should be we shall leave for discussion on another day. Botany - An exhumation of a nineteenth century community is an attempt to provide a flickering kaleidoscope of the senses, the sounds, sights, smells, touch and taste of the past, which we living in the sanitised and virtual reality of our present, are the lesser for ignoring. The somewhat vain hope is that this work might provide inspiration to others, such that Botany might become our Downton Abbey. That they both have at their core Lords, one Grantham, the other Simeon, might give us some hope. Botany was dead to begin with. The Sydney Airport Authority had said so, and hadn’t they provided a concrete slab of some enormity, tastefully bitumenised in black, which testified to the fact. The property developer having had any guilt assuaged by a suitably academic heritage study, provided monumental towers. The Cooks River, on recognising death was eminent, turned its face and sought refuge to the south, where it entered the sea. To begin our exhumation. Botany though was unique, is unique, the only community in our world to be given that name. It is however in its history that we should begin to see just how unique it is.

    Botany Bay 132kV Electricity Cable Project Cultural Heritage Assessment November 2006 Navin Officer heritage consultants Pty Ltd acn: 092 901 605 Number 4 Kingston Warehouse 71 Leichhardt St. Kingston ACT 2604 ph 02 6282 9415 fx 02 6282 9416 A Report to Molino Stewart Pty Ltd EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Project During the next decade EnergyAustralia must replace ageing infrastructure in the Sydney CBD and the inner metropolitan area. It has been identified that replacement of two existing high voltage feeders which currently connect EnergyAustralia’s Bunnerong subtransmission substation (“STS”) at Matraville with its Canterbury STS at Earlwood, must be achieved by late 2008. The preferred replacement for the feeders, known as Feeders 908 and 909, however, is a new connection between Bunnerong and Kurnell across Botany Bay. It is proposed that the new feeders would take the following route: • from Bunnerong STS, following the road alignments to La Perouse (3.2km); • under the National Park at La Perouse by way of horizontal directional drilling (0.5km); • across Botany Bay by way of submarine cable to a section of Silver Beach situated outside (but next to) the National Park at Kurnell (2.2km); and • from Silver Beach to Kurnell STS, following the road alignments (1.5km). At Bunnerong STS, little work is proposed other than the laying of the cables within the site and connecting them to new terminations and existing equipment/apparatus. The new connections would provide an opportunity to upgrade Kurnell STS so that supplies to the Kurnell Peninsula are more secure, as well as facilitating the additional power into the CBD and inner metropolitan area.

An essential part of that identity lies in who their parents, grandparents and siblings are and in simple information like when they were born. Foreword In recent years, there has been a push to set up an index of records that would help people separated from their families find them once again. Two years ago, a report called Origins and Identity, commissioned by the NSW Attorney GeneralÕs Department and the Department of Community Services (DOCS), examined the need for search services for people separated by adoption and other circumstances. It recommended that DOCS establish a project to locate all NSW records relating to children separated from their families since 1900. The recommendations of the Bringing Them Home report from the National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from their Families, and the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, also identified the need to index and preserve records of Indigenous children removed from their homes.
