Michael Bryant Challenges $91k Prosecution for Unauthorized Building Work

The issue arose when the council discovered unconsented construction while reviewing a real estate advertisement for Bryant’s $2.4 million property, which displayed a pool area lacking proper fencing. Upon investigation, it was found that the cabana had no building consent and the pool had not received final approval.
