Dear DADA folk,

Our friends at Ikonomidis Reid are at it again. This time with a development proposal for 22 Sylvester Grove, Preston which seeks to remove a three bedroom house with a magnificent old Magnolia tree in the front yard and other established trees in the backyard to build three, 2 bedroom units.

A partly filled objection form is attached. Please help by filling in your details and emailing or posting before Monday the 14th of April. The addresses are at the top of the form. If you CC me in when you email or reply that you have sent I can keep a track of the numbers, which helps to convince council of a need to reject.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers, Maria

Help! Reject 48 Murphy Grove

I need your help to convince Council Planning Committee on Monday to reject the current planning application for 48 Murphy Grove, Preston [Map].

We know from past experience that the larger the group of folk that turn up to watch and hear councilors make planning decisions the more chance we have of being heard and the vote going our way.

If you can make the meeting on Monday the 25th, 5.30pm at the Council Chambers, 1st floor (off High Street), 350 High Street, Preston [map] and, even better, if you could show your support, by clapping at the end of my 5 minute presentation on behalf of objectors, it would be really appreciated.

We should also clap if the committee rejects the application.

I hope you can help.

Cheers, Maria

ROUND 3 WIN

Great news… we had a WIN

Developer plans 18-storey apartment building for Preston Junction

A towering development of 18 storeys is planned for Preston Junction – and Darebin Council says the proposal does not exceed height regulations.

Developer Design Consortia Australia has applied to build what would be Darebin’s tallest building, comprising 209 apartments, six shops, two offices and a gymnasium at 6-34 High St.

The council’s city development manager Mr Rudd said the location was identified as a landmark site and this was the only one within the junction precinct where a height in excess of 12 storeys would be considered.

“(But) it is important to note that Darebin Council is yet to form an opinion on this recommendation,” Mr Rudd said.

Development spokesperson Travis Reid said the building (an artist’s impression is pictured) would be a gateway to Preston.

“The building is designed to be clearly distinguishable from the Junction Hotel and, at a height of 18 storeys, will frame – not compete with – the prominence of the hotel,” Mr Reid said.

“A shorter building risks confusing the visual role of both structures.”

He said it contained environmentally sustainable features such as solar panels and a winter garden.

But Darebin Appropriate Development spokeswoman Maria Poletti said 18 storeys was a massive over-development.

“A building that is 18 storeys high is only a landmark for the worst possible reasons,” Ms Poletti said.

She said the junction was already overdeveloped.

The development is now being advertised, with the council yet to confirm when it will make the decision.

Please see documents below related to a Planning Submission for Paint Shed’s site development to 18 storeys for The Junction.

The Junction is already looking overdeveloped and an 18 storey landmark building in my view, would only be a landmark for all the wrong reasons.

It looks like full steam ahead for over-development in Darebin.

Submissions close 18 October 2013.

I urge all residents to complete and forward an ojection BEFORE the closing deadline.
