I agree with you. I would never rely on written advice from a council. The only thing you can rely on is an approval in writing: development approval or subdivision approval. Until you get that formal approval in writing, it's always uncertain.

Approval in writing is a development approval or subdivision approval and is legally binding. I was not talking about written advice, I was talking about a formal council approval.

To be fair to Tim, council gave a pretty firm response that the block could be subdivided. I think what we can all learn out of this is that even if council says yes, until you have an approval in writing, there are no guarantees.
