Breck Scott-Young lives near Kookaburra Way in East Albury where the development application to build a home was submitted.

Mr Scott-Young said the application said the home was being built in Sunrise Terrace around a kilometre away.

"There have been at least six times where council have advertised it as Sunrise Terrace when it's actually on Kookaburra Way," he said.

"You get a letter saying there has been a development and it's a kilometre away from where you live, you don't take any notice of it.

"This doesn't pass the pub test."

Mr Scott-Young believes that this has not allowed residents to be correctly informed on the application and limited their ability to have input on the proposal.

"The ridiculous thing is we've gotten to the stage where we can't do much, I think anybody would feel duped by the way it has been done," he said.

Albury City mayor Kevin Mack said that this was not a case of mislabelling the development site because when the application was originally submitted in 2004 Kookaburra Way was listed as Lot 376 Sunrise Terrace.

"As such, the parcel of land must be treated by council as a single parcel of land for planning purposes," he said.

"These circumstances have been explained to residents in two rounds of notification letters."

Developer of the site Kevin Shanahan said that there had been no attempt at deception by either himself or Albury council.

"I just think it's an anomaly, council definitely didn't do it to deceive anybody and we definitely didn't," he said.

"I understand it can be confusing, but there was certainly no deception."

Mr Scott-Young holds concerns about the size of the development and that the earthworks needed would cause disturbances in the neighbourhood.

"We want to make sure that there is no impact on anybody around here, not having trucks coming in and out for months on end, not earthworks going for months on end, dust and noise which destroys the local amenity and ecology down here," he said.

"You feel absolutely robbed, we've had absolutely no chance to do anything about it up to this point, now we've got to try and make it liveable."

Mr Shanahan was insistent that the development would be a modest four bedroom home and a granny flat and it's construction would cause no issues for residents.

"There is going to be no disturbance to the neighbours, we're going to bring all of the fill down Mungabareena Road and we would access the site on our boundary," Mr Shanahan said.

"I don't know what their idea of a disturbance was and in terms of dust and noise it's no different to any other earthwork exercise.

"I didn't think that doing a hectare of filling would be a problem, 10 of the 11 hectares will remain untouched.

"I still don't understand why it's causing people angst, I shake my head."

June O'Hare lives across the road from the lot in question and she said she is against the development.

"I think aesthetically it's going to be hideous, because it's built up to allow the building to be erected there and it's 40 metres in from the fence," she said.

"You could say a pimple on a pumpkin, but it's not a pimple, it's a huge development."

The application will be decided upon in an upcoming Albury council meeting.
