The panel heard a development application at 47 East Crescent Street, Lavender Bay, with several residents registered to speak.

One submitter said the distance and raised wall would prevent overlooking. The panel said it would consider that material and take a position. No vote was recorded on the item.

The panel also heard a development application at 5/156 Military Road, Neutral Bay, for what the chair described as a fairly minor type of development. The applicant, Scott Staniforth, was present but had no questions from the panel. No submissions were received.

The panel then heard a development application for alterations and additions to the existing attached terrace at 21-25 Thomas Street, McMahons Point. The applicant, Nicholas Johnson, was online but did not speak. No submitters were registered.
