GLEN EIRA: Decision ‘rushed and poorly timed’


Glen Eira Council is prepares a submission to the State Government’s Activity Centre Program on the draft plans for Carnegie, Murrumbeena and Hughesdale.
The submission will include the Council’s concerns with the draft plan including:
n Lack of detail about the planning rules, building heights, and how decisions were made.
n Technical reports are insufficient — the Council says that it does not know how development will affect streets, transport, parking or public spaces.
n Infrastructure funding has not been explained.
“The Council and community haven’t had a fair chance to be involved — consultation was rushed and poorly timed,” a glen Eira Council representative said.
