Dear Alan,
Thank you so much for interviewing me this morning and lending your support to our sustainable project. We are now feeling re-energised and motivated to continue our battle with Woollahra Council and Energy Australia. It is imperative that we win our battle against poor Government policy to ensure future developers know that sustainable developments are treated with the respect and attention they deserve.
For your information, we have lodged an application with Woollahra Council seeking a significant reduction in the $1.3 million s94 development contribution they have attempted to levy on our project. I will touch base with you to let you know how we are going.
In relation to Energy Australia’s poor decision to install an electricity kiosk on our property, what do you suggest we do? I have previously written several letters to the General Manager of Energy Australia, all to no avail.
On a more positive note, I would like to invite you and Malcolm Turnbull to officially launch our sustainable project some time in February or March 2007. I am more than happy to arrange a date and time that suits both you and Malcolm. Please let me know if you would be amenable to helping us officially launch our sustainable development.
With Best Wishes,
Lesli Berger
General Manager
