Couple quotes from this article,

We generally as a rule do not object nor support an application (but) simply put in a submission pointing out where it does and doesn’t fit in within the city’s planning guidelines – from the R codes and the local area policies – that’s what we do,’’ she said.

Swan chief executive officer Stephen Cain said city staff had sought to work collaboratively with the café owners providing guidance and extensions along the way. “It was the decision of the owners not to lodge the development application that could have resolved their non-compliance,’’ he said.

I'm leaning towards this story being a disgruntled failing business owner wanting to lob some manure to save their own feelings of embarrassment as they exit the business. The thing is, the business owner should hold their heads high, they ran a business for a good few years and they had a go! No shame in that.
