Objection: 199 Purinuan Road RESERVOIR

Dear DADA Folk,

I send you each and every objection that is sent to me from objectors asking for help.  I understand that you might like to support each that I forward to you but find it difficult to support them all.

A number of DADA folk have asked me to email an objection on their behalf and I do quite easily when I send in my own form.

If you would like me to do the same for you please hit reply to this email and send me the name, address, email and contact phone you would like me to use on the objection form.  I will add you to my list and you will receive confirmation from Darebin Planning each time I object on your behalf.

You do not need to do anything else but adding your name to other objectors obviously helps those in the community directly effected by over-development.

Thanks for whatever support you can give.

Cheers, Maria

Objection: 80 Alston Court THORNBURY

Dear DADA Folk,

Interesting that we are beginning to see more three bedroom dwellings in the planning applications.  Unfortunately these proposals tend to lack required car parking spaces and the public transport system can not yet cope with extra travelers.

We keep objecting until the authorities and developers get the point!!
