Trucks would cause chaos
REGARDING the plans for the recycling plant in Glenhuntly Rd, Carnegie, traffic and noise are already issues in this area given on-road parking, the trams and a level crossing down the road.
Trucks coming and going will cause further traffic congestion and noise, not to mention the dust and pollution local residents and businesses will have to deal with.
I can only imagine how teachers and parents at Glen Huntly Primary will feel about children walking to and from school in the new ‘‘industrial’’ Carnegie. Hopefully, Glen Eira Council will dismiss this proposal immediately.
Given the application to rezone the area and build residential apartments next door, I wonder how the proposals will affect one another. Who wants to buy an apartment next door to a rubbish factory?
Axe the plan immediately
THIS is a ridiculous proposal for the area. The council really needs to stop this without delay.
Imagine the dust and noise
I HAD the misfortune of walking past this place when they were operating without a permit. They dumped a load of old bricks and the noise and dust was unbelievable.
It’s the wrong place
I THINK it’s disgraceful in this day and age that they would allow people’s lives to be affected in such a thoughtless way by toxins, fumes and noise. These places belong in outer industrial zones and not in the middle of residential areas near schools, flats, aged people’s homes and so on.
Hand over the permit
SURELY someone can do something to stop this ridiculous plan. Is this a grab for rates from Glen Eira Council? If the council has no rateable property outside residential areas it should give the planning permit to neighbouring Kingston or Monash, who have plenty of vacant land.

This application is in the advertising phase. I guess that means that planning officers found some “merit” in the application. Otherwise they would have rejected it outright. Shows what a mess this planning scheme and the planning department are in.

Which is it to be – rezoned residential complete with 5 storeys or to remain industrial. It has to be one or the other as the two are incompatible given the definition of the zones.
Council has really stuffed up here …. they have two applications for two uses which don’t match up .. the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing.
Betcha the next Council Meeting will be full of praise for the wonderful, co-orindated Planning Dept. – talk is cheap here is the evidence. The Planning Dept. is a disgrace
