There are a number of us currently objecting to a proposed development over on Smith St in Collingwood. It’s all being coordinated by the Collingwood Action Group (CAG) and you can read all about it at SmithStreet.org. A record 1,500 objections were received last year and the local council (eventually) knocked back the proposal. The developers (Banco) have now taken it to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) to get it pushed through.
A bunch of us are submitting our Statement of Grounds documents with objections and CAG is organising another ePetition trying to get various ministers to block it. After all, they blocked a proposed development at Wheelers Hill with only 400 objections.
Hopefully this one gets stopped too. We’ll know for sure after the VCAT hearing on Friday.
