I believe that Richmond is home to a wonderful historic Neighbourhood which the community has established to support small businesses. A 6 story hotel will not only remove the valuable history of our wonderful suburb but also allow our small community to be threatened

Richmond is experiencing a significant period of construction and housing expansion particularly on Bridge road and the skyline is rapidly changing (Richmond traders being a perfect example). In doing so Richmond is losing much of its soul and character and becoming a cold place full of glass entry doors where exciting shop fronts and local businesses once stood.
As a Richmond local, I would strongly like to object to this development and insist that its height and scale is ridiculous for the surrounding area.
I too strongly object the size and scale of this development. Bridge rd is turning into New York, full of concrete and overshadowing that plunges the street filled with cafes into cold darkness, starved of any sunlight. Look at what Richmond Traders building as done to Citizens park, there’s no sun on it in the afternoon now. Who is actually driving all this obscene size of developments, because if you ask the locals and residents it’s not what we want. Plus we are the ones that end up having to pay for all the sewerage and infrastructure upgrades. I agree with previous objections, stop ripping the soul out of Richmond!!
It is too late the Yarra Council bends over backwards for developers. Richmond is ruined. It is all about $$$$ for developers and council rates nobody cares about residents.
