               Applicant’s Request
               The applicant has requested existing condition 81 be amended to remove the section relating to

               no longer proposed.
               Assessment of Request
               The request is supported as works are no longer proposed in the waterway. Councils Senior

               to reflect the management of weeds on the site.
