Friday, August 31st, 2007

On the last business day before the VCAT hearing the Boroondara council has dropped its last ground for objection (traffic management) for the proposed development at 108 Power Street. Council however will seek to impose controls on the vehicle access to the site at the VCAT hearing.

108 Power Street VCAT hearing

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

The VCAT hearing for the proposed development at 108 Power Street Hawthorn has been set down for Monday September 3. In response to residents and council objections the developer has amended their proposal to bring it more in line with the West Hawthorn Urban Design Framework. However, this is still a large development that will impact on the surrounding area. Residents are urged to attend the hearing if they can.
