Greater good? Greens-dominated Waverley Council wants to make it
tougher for householders to install air coolers because they are bad
for the environment. The call follows similar moves in relation to
backyard swimming pools, which has sparked controversy in the
community.
“Illogical, unfair” says ALP: Currently, residents do not need
to seek council approval for air conditioners as long as they meet
planning guidelines. ALP councillors are outraged by the plan. “It is
illogical and unfair,” ALP deputy mayor George Newhouse said.
