Okay, so according to the C and AG, one fifth of them had planning and half of them had contracts. If I put up a modular backyard unit tomorrow, the council would be down on me like a ton of bricks. Why is it that the Department has been able to hand out these contracts, with no proper procurement, on an expression of interest, with very few fire certificates and very little compliance? Why has the Department been allowed to do that?
