BAYSIDE Council has spent just a fraction of a budgeted $100,000 to get the best legal help in a fight against a controversial Sandringham planning proposal.
In September, the council pledged to protect the community against plans for a then 11-storey tower at 220-228 Bay Rd with $100,000 of ratepayers’ money.
But at a state planning tribunal hearing held in late November, Bayside’s requested senior counsel was unable to appear.
