It would be, if it were NOT an emerging and outrageous reality!
Planning in Melbourne is resulting in an increasing number of frighteningly high-density areas throughout our suburbs. Suburbs that had previously evolved 'organically' over time into suburbs of character!
Now, an irreversible 'densification experiment' is destroying the character and amenity of those same suburbs.
One area in Bayside being transformed by this 'densification experiment' is circled in the image above.
This 'new mini-suburb' could be jokingly named 'Highdensityham' (Highett+Density+Sandringham)... but it is NO JOKE to those residents who have made it their neighbourhood community.
Consideration of the outrageous implications of such 'suburban densification' has either, not been given or has been totally ignored by so-called 'planners'.
Such unbalanced and ill-conceived planning needs to STOP!
ALSO... the Government policy of promoting the sale of residential properties to Non-Resident (overseas) buyers should STOP. It increases home prices AND reduces home availability for Australian residents!
