TWO houses and other buildings have been approved for construction in a Loddon Shire rural living zone.
Councillors on Tuesday agreed to issue the permit to Karanjit Singh Goraya despite an objection to building on the Calder Highway block near Wedderburn.

They said the area had flooded last Christmas and “the idea of a dwelling being in direct line of what we witnessed seems inconceivable”.
