Case Studies - Clement-Stone Town Planners

CLEMENT-STONE TOWN PLANNERS EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE IS WELL DOCUMENTED IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE RANGING FROM LOCAL PLANNING DISPUTES THROUGH TO MAJOR ISSUES AFFECTING CITY DEVELOPMENT. Case Study : Victoria, Funeral Parlour Perhaps one of the most interesting cases of all was a proposed funeral parlour I did for a leading funeral parlour operator in country Victoria. It was proposed to establish a funeral parlour in Seymour adjacent to an existing Chinese restaurant. The operator of the restaurant objected on the basis that the thought of dead people being located next to an Asian food restaurant would be bad for business and generally people would have an psychological aversion to his business. Whilst economic impact is often a very difficult case to run at VCAT, the objector flew in an expert in Feng Shui. It’s an interesting case documented in Chun vs Mitchell Shire Council and Bamford Funeral Services http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/vic/VCAT/2000/2231.html. The Tribunal made a finding in favour of our client. For more information our contact form or the phone numbers on this page to find out more.
