THE Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal has approved Bayside’s biggest ever development.

The decision to allow an eight-storey, multiple tower complex on Bay Rd, Sandringham, has outraged Bayside Council, residents and Sandringham state MP Murray Thompson. There were more than 1100 objections to the proposal for 453 apartments, 873 car parks, shops and a medical centre.

One of the towers, 29m at its highest, will be by far Bayside’s tallest building.
