Glen Eira Debates

People living in Carnegie must be despairing at what they see happening to their streets and shopping centres. I can’t think of enough words that would do justice to my anger at this council and their indifference to residents. They are unscrupulous, arrogant, incompetent, liars, and straight out bastards.

This is what happens when you secretly want more development and then pretend that there’s nothing you can do to stop it – that it is all the government’s or vcat’s fault and council is totally blameless. Building boom remember? Next stage of the game is to refuse all applications so vcat can give permits and again “not our fault”. Brilliant strategy but wearing very thin now. Residents are not idiots and can see through the bullshit.

I have never seen one scrap of information about what council believes to be “capacity” for Glen Eira. What is the limit to how many people and building can be crammed into 38 square km before things go bust? Does council want 180,000? 150,000? 140,000?

They care a rats for residents as Lipshutz, Hyams, Pillings and Esakoff have been heard saying they know what is good for residents. Pilling further made a statement late last year to a group of residents re destruction of Frogmore in Carnagie when he said “Residents have no choice in the matter as more and more developments will take place and people have to live with it. Huh?

There is a new dish in a restaurant on Koornang Carnegie call
” Chicken Pilling”
It’s half cooked chicken served on a bed bland chinese rice, cooked over dried bullsh-t.
I would recommend the duck

Are you kidding???? Like guns that were discussed in closed door meeting proposed by Hyams and seconded by Lipshutz, the zones and heavens know what else have been going on in closed doors to the detriment of residents. Thank you Dela Bella Hunty, you are on your way to parliament.

This is what happens when you put all your eggs into the basket of the market economy.
January 9, 2016 at 9:02 PM
U R right Macca – All eggs in one basket is the right terminology but what do you say when there are rotten eggs amongst the good eggs? Hyams and his gang’s games have caught up with them. Rumours are that the liberal party is certainly not happy particularly with Hyams who has pissed off residents who are members of liberal party and have been badly affected with the zones. Time to go Jamie and the gang.

Totally agree. Council in-action equals compliance and approval. They should be working around the clock to stop over development in Glen Eira, instead they blame others. Not replying within 60 days and allowing the developer to go directly to VCAT- re the 9 storey application for Centre Rd Bentleigh. What is their excuse for that? Apathy I would say or maybe they saw that as a way to cut down their workload or secretly they approve or even worse they don’t care!

In July, 2013 the same thing happened with the Alma Club development ie
Council failed to meet the 60 day requirement and the development went to VCAT.
Now we have 9 stories in Bentleigh.
In both cases, the reason for Council failing to comply with the 60 day notification requirements was complexity.
If Council’s Planning Department finds reviewing two stand alone developments, each comprising less than 100 residential units, too complex to handle within the statutory timelines, it’s no wonder they made such a f***up with the zones
