The Push for Consistency

Bayside Leader-Page 10   7 Jun 2011

In the latest in our series on population boom and development in Bayside, Marnie Reid speaks to the Planning Minister

DEVELOPMENT is becoming a dirty word in some parts of Bayside. Between July 1, 2010, and May 17, 2011, developers had appealed to the state planning tribunal 64 proposed developments that were for various reasons denied by Bayside Council.

Andrew Esplan wants a more thorough planning procedure.

Hampton high rising furore

33 Crisp Street Development -VCAT Hearing 17 August 2011 (10am)
By Jon Andrews 26 Apr 2011

DEVELOPERS are paving the way for a Bayside population boom, with plans for another multi-unit development dominating the April 19 council meeting.
Nearly 100 people complained about the massive 28-unit proposal just 350m from the busy Hampton St shopping strip.
They say the three-storey Crisp St application is yet another overdevelopment trying to cash in on the area’s wealth, while causing nothing but detriment to locals.
