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.
