Council says -“go all yea to Caulfield Park” and then hope and pray that the Caufield Racecourse centre somehow is wrested free from the Melbourne Racing Club – and even with this it still will not be enough to provide the needed open space for those non-sporting residents.

22 stories for the village and now 26 for Monash. It is a complete hodge podge mess that doesn’t have one iota of concern for residents

Apparently insufficient funds to educate the students but plenty for new buildings.

They are counting on foreign students that pay full fees. Mainly from China.
Open space is not in their thinking.

Welcome to the “Flash Gordon” cartoon future, the reality is going to be very different

This is a shocking revelation to the local community. This massive influx along with the highly controversial Caulfield Racecourse development scandal will overwhelm the area. And the Dandenong rail line upgrade is not necessarily going ahead under the new Government either.

There’s so much to criticise here, but I can’t blame NH Architecture for wanting to put a positive spin on their efforts. Obviously it is not a “village”: that’s just what you call something hulking to give a misleading impression that it might be at human scale. A collection of 14-26 storey towers doesn’t make a village, just as the Docklands planning failure isn’t a village.
“Vibrant” is one of the most overused terms in planning: every developer claims their development will make an area “vibrant”. The reference to “community consultation” is particularly inappropriate. Phoenix Precinct Urban Design Framework 1998, Monash University West Precinct Masterplan, C60—they’re all prepared in defiance of community consultation, not as the Promo seeks to suggest with the help of extensive community consultation.
Another concern is that the precinct is no longer for Education, although it seeks to exploit planning loopholes available to land zoned for education purposes. The article highlights that retail, commercial, and residential uses are the real goal.
