The last twenty years has been planning on the run, and it was willfully ignored the ugly side of overdevelopment. We see it right before our eyes daily People, car, and truck numbers all rising. The competition for road space, parking places open space facilities all becoming very very competitive. I for one don’t think this type competition is all that healthy for a local community.
At the best most of the solutions put forwards to these density issues by all levels of our Governments are just band-aids, as they do not even attempt to alleviate the core issues like:-
noise pollution
air quality
local flooding
public transport capacities
open space being loved to death so concreting is the solution
tree decline that will cause higher ambient temperatures
overcrowding schools then adding building till the grounds are a fraction of what they were, the grassed areas turn into dust bowl and the solution is to lay plastic grass.
The list goes on and on.
There is no sustainable future here, whilst developers set the most important parameters that sustain a city, or a community. Our corporate modeled city councils are impotent as they are now just a machine geared exclusively to deliver profits to developers and to their mates on the inside oiling the wheels of chaos and deception.

Yes it is all a shocker. Visited Murrumbeena’s former shopping centre yesterday and thanks to rail work and no entry or exit from the north of station
there are many shops to let and naturally viable businesses are sparse. A very sorry scene and even the rail crossing authority shop of course is now soon to be vacant too. Poor village.

ADDITIONALLY added to the last comment the “WISE'” transport authority has directed that the buses for Murrumbeena / Chadstone must pick up and set down passengers on the south side of the railway.

Moving the buses is a good idea as the idling bus bus used to fill the close by shops with exhaust gases and noise.
