This months Council Meeting discussed two significant developments, and a third which had many questions asked but wasn’t discussed directly. The first being the Communications Tower at Buninyong (voted down unanimously), the second had to do with development occurring in Mount Clear and Mount Helen. And then we had an old stomping ground at 315 […]
Well this is the development that kick started a movement, and we aren’t finished yet. Simplistic Flashback: Developer seeks permit to erect 16 units (all the same) at 315 Fussell St Residents outraged and put up big number of objections & canvass council and neighbours Council officers approve 14 units Councillors vote proposal down Developer […]
Do you remember this one? Yes we have been here before – but no matter we will be again. This development slipped through when we only had three objections – well now the developer wants more, and more. DEVELOPMENT NUMBER: PLP/2012/48 DEVELOPER: T G Clark SITE: 213 Fussell Street APPLICATION: Development of 2 Dwellings and […]
Just when we thought the developer had done all they could – A new planning application has been advertised for 213 Fussell Street PLP/2012/48. When 213 Fussell went to VCAT in 2010, the developers were quick off the mark and got through with 52 blocks because the subdivision was less than 60 blocks. More than […]
Go Hard because there’s no going home if this development goes ahead… You all remember the crazy development proposed for 23 Rodier St (PLP/2011/557), the council refused the permit, as indeed it should have, after residents were outraged… Now we are off to VCAT to support our residents, and our council to tell this developer […]

On Wednesday Jan 25th the council made a decision to deny a permit on this development, and the community should be very happy with this result. The reasons to object were pretty clear and they were elucidated by Garry Wood, Michael Simpson and Erin McCuskey. So what happens next? The developer has the opportunity to […]
Remember 5 Highvista Grove? The 17 room boarding house, with no support services, in the middle of residential green belt? Well the assessment is in, and we aren’t happy Jan. The decision isn’t done and dusted yet – it’s been called in by our South Ward Councillors, and is due to be discussed at the […]
