TOTAL 774 PLUS UNKNOWNS in the six weeks!

The Planning Scheme cites an average of 500-600 dwellings PER YEAR!

The facts:

  • Glen Eira has quadrupled its average new dwellings per year
  • How many of these new dwellings are single bedroom is undisclosed
  • How many of these new dwellings stand empty is anyone’s guess
  • How many ‘standards’ council overlooks in granting these permits is undisclosed
  • Why Council fails repeatedly at VCAT remains unreported (but we know why according to VCAT judgements – the fault lies almost exclusively with the current planning scheme)
  • Have any of these 2000+ new dwellings been granted an exemption in paying their open space levy and, for those that have paid, is the levy at the maximum of 5.7% in each and every case?
