Holding Fort at Bay Road

Locals oppose Bay Rd apartments

By Jon Andrews - Bayside Leader 

Sandringham residents are unhappy about a three-storey, 10-apartment block. 

SANDRINGHAM residents have railed against a triple-storey planning application that will be fought at VCAT.
A development proposal to build 10 apartments on a 700sq m Bay Rd and Gladstone St corner block has outraged locals.
The application is going to the state’s top planning tribunal because Bayside Council did not make a decision in time. 
Neighbour Robert Taylor said objectors’ group Residents Against Inappropriate Development would attend the VCAT hearing.
He said 59 objectors thought the proposal was too big, would ruin the streetscape, dominate a relatively quiet sidestreet and cause traffic chaos.

The Changing Face of our Village

Car-parks are now being 'targeted' for development around suburban Melbourne, especially in 'Activity Centres' and Public Transport routes.

Pack 'em in on Bay Road !

Yet another Planning Application has been submitted to Bayside Council for ANOTHER THREE TOWER Development on Bay Road!  ...at 212-216 Bay Road Sandringham.

Planning Application for 3 Tower, 5 to 6 storey development 
plus underground carpark at 212-216 Bay Road

Ground Floor Plan of at least a FOUR Level, THREE Tower Development

Does ANYONE perform any PROPER analysis on the 'cumulative' implications resulting from MULTIPLE High-Density developments in a 'neighbourhood area'?
Apart from other issues, the CUMULATIVE pressures on traffic and public transport have been totally ignored!

It seems like it's "High Density Development at ANY cost!" ...and the 'cost' will be felt by the local community, especially in the form of ever-increasing traffic and public transport nightmares!
Developers will have made their millions and moved on... leaving their 'nightmare legacy', which will be IRREVERSIBLE!
