Hello,

I am learning to put the quality question theory into practise. It seems to be working even at councils.

For example, I found 10 acres in the Yarra Valley that I would like to subdivide and develop. I initially asked the council the question “can I subdivide this land?” the answer came back quite bluntly “NO”.

I went back later that week with another question “Under what circumstances could I develop/subdivide this land?” the answer was very helpful and interesting. In short the land could be developed if an agricultural element was present on the land. That is if there was a vine yard or market garden. The planner seemed to think that 50+ accommodation would be quite suitable there.

So you may be able to apply the same question to your Nanna’s situation and come up with quite a creative solution.

All the best
Katrina
