CCCW Board Member Connected to Whitehorse City Council

In one of my first posts I recanted how I was scammed by Christian City Care. I also mentioned I'd met a Mr George Neophytou the solicitor for Christian City Church Whitehorse. Later I discovering that Mr George Neophytou also held a position on the Board of Directors for Christian City Church Whitehorse, which also oversaw Christian City Care. However until today I was not aware the Mr George Neophytou also ran for a seat on the Whitehorse City Council in 2003.

George Neophytou Whitehorse City Council Elections

On the 9'th of April 2003 in a sitting of the Victorian Parliament the Hon. B. N. ATKINSON (Koonung) raised an issue concerning a planning development by Christian City Church. Where their legal representative George Neophytou Law Pty Ltd had written a letter to the body corporate who had lodged objections against the development. This development was in fact the now new home of Christian City Church at Rooks Rd Vermount.

Quoting the Hon. B. N. ATKINSON (Koonung)
"This is an outrageous letter because people have an ability under planning legislation to object to developments that they believe will have an adverse impact on their amenity and enjoyment of their property. That is a legitimate opportunity. For this company to suggest that it has judged the objections of the objectors and decided that those objections are not substantial objections and then suggest it will pursue an order for $200 000 in costs if these people proceed with their objections is outrageous and in total contravention of the rights these people enjoy at law at the moment in being able to have their case heard by VCAT. I hope the Minister for Planning shares my view that this sort of letter is not on."

Planning - Vermont development Whitehorse

From my understanding Christian City Church initially sought to transform their factory warehouses at 153 - 171 Rooks Rd, Vermont Victoria into a 1000 seating Church auditorium. In usual Christian City Church fashion the facts of this became rather clouded.

I can however state with my own two eyes and ears I was witness to a conversation that took place at Rooks Rd & where Pastor Peter Mchugh inspected the new sign that was to be hung on the outside of the main building. The sign contacted the word "Church". The sign was not permitted to be used. Instead it was to be replaced with something that did not state Church. At this time there is the signage of C3Centre. Unless one knew what C3 stood for I doubt anyone would realise this was the new home of Christian City Church Whitehorse.

Getting back to topic, I was under the impression that Christian City Church applied to Whitehorse City Council for a development permit not for a Church but for a Christian teaching college. Reality is the college takes up about 5% (if that) of the buildings. Fact is the buildings are not a college as the Whitehorse City Council apprently approved.

My question now focuses back to the connection between Christian City Church Whitehorse and George Neophytou Law Pty Ltd, for whom George Neophytouin in 2003 not only held a seat on the Board of Directors at Christian City Church Whitehorse, but was also running for a seat on the Whitehorse City Council.
