West Ward Independent councillor Anthony Swinsburg was defeated in his attempt to have a contentious housing estate in western Lake Macquarie debated by the elected council.
Cr Swinsburg submitted a notice of motion at Monday night's Lake Macquarie City Council meeting to have a development application (DA) for a 76-lot residential housing estate at 44 Carleton Street, Toronto brought before the council following 45 submissions against the proposal by Grantham Farm Pty Ltd.
