Despite all prognostications that the so called ‘building boom’ is abating, applications in Glen Eira are continuing to flood in. The list below is a selection of some that have landed on council’s desk within the past few months. We have not included the multitude of 2 double storeys, or in some cases, even an application for 3 double storeys. All of these are still to be decided or even advertised.

We urge readers to carefully note:

  • The zoning and area for each application (in parenthesis)
  • The failure to disclose the number of proposed apartments for some of the following listings
  • The question as to why the two bolded applications are even being considered given that they exceed the zoning requirements (ie Bent St & Hawthorn Road). Are we about to see underground apartments or does the land really slope that much?
  • What does this say about council’s planning scheme and its ‘heirarchy’ for development, when the vast majority of these dwellings are in neighbourhood centres and NOT the major activity zones of Bentleigh, Elsternwick, Carnegie?
  • The amount of development in General Residential Zone, rather then the commercial/mixed use zoning.
  • The size of the land and the proposed number of dwellings. So much for permeability, site coverage, and impact on infrastructure!
