The Department of Planning and Environment emailed PPPG two days before Christmas informing us that the Deputy Secretary had approved the application for the Concept Proposal for Mixed Use with Affordable Housing – 45-53 Macleay Street [the Chimes], (SSD-79316759 ). There was no facility for us to respond until late January.
