Successfully campaigned against development at 83-83a Yarranabbe Rd for breach of the 30 metre foreshore building line and increased height ratio. If passed, the development would have set a precedent as there has not been any building on the foreshore for over 50 years, and opening the way for more encroachment of the foreshore.
