Sub division to disaster?

I AM writing about the Casey Council. Who in the planning department is the genious who has given the green light to a new sub-division off Centre Road? This sub division is called Alira.
This whole area is the flood plain for the Hallam main drain.
About four years ago after torrential rain in a single night, this whole area was four feet under water. The Cranbourne-Narre Warren Road was closed to all traffic for a week. Who can forget the submerged taxi abandoned on this road? Horses on the adjoining properties had to be rescued and moved to higher ground.
Are the people who intend to buy here to be advised that they will be subjected to more than rising damp?
Are the developers hoping that their clients will all come from outside Casey and will know nothing about the problems they will face if they buy here?
Are the houses all to be Queenslanders, lifting them out of danger? Are there boats to be handed out in case of flood?
Someone in council is responsible for this potential debacle?
Remember, it is our rates that pay these people and they should all be accountable for their actions.
Linda Dyer,
Narre Warren
