Young developer’s North Griffith housing plan faces neighbour’s privacy objection

Key points

• A neighbour has objected to a plan to build two new homes behind an existing house in North Griffith, citing privacy, noise and traffic. Griffith City Council staff have recommended approval, and councillors will vote on the application on Tuesday 13 October.
• The developer, 20-year-old university student Taksheer Chugha, said he plans to rent out the homes in an area short of accommodation near the hospital.
• The proposal comes amid ongoing debate over where new housing should go in Griffith.
