Official Caution issued to Richard Crooks Construction (SSD 9367, Blacktown City Council LGA)

On 18 May 2020, the Department issued an Official Caution to Richard Crooks Construction (RCC) for carrying out development at the Alex Avenue Public School prior to the development consent being issued by the Department. Development consents are vital to the planning system to ensure appropriate conditions of consent are implemented to mitigate the risk of developments to adversely impact on the environment, human health and the amenity of NSW local communities.  There was no environmental impact as a result of the breach and the development consent for works has since been granted.
