“Dear Mr Gavin Cator, (at that time Mr. Cator was my CEO, Wodonga City Council).

I am just letting you know that we have received the planning permit for the proposed extension to the Elmwood Medical Centre.

I have been most impressed with the way that Kevin Sharp has worked with our architect Mark Sproule in both raising and resolving issues so that we meet Council requirements and the helpful manner in which this was done.

This (timely approval) is in stark contrast to the drawn out processes we encountered with the previous applications (those previous applications were not serviced by Mr Sharp). I just want to say congratulations to Mr Sharp….” (non relevant text not included).
