I sincerely hope that Council examines the application to reduce the standard parking requirements in this application very carefully.
Parking along Glen Iris Road at the Camberwell Road corner is already horrific, with the no standing signs ignored and the area not policed by Council’s by-laws officers.
This reduction in car parking spaces is completely unacceptable in an already congested road with No Standing sign always ignored.
This road carries a high traffic volume and as such the developers should provide additional car parking spaces. 8 dwellings should be 16 car parking spaces plus 4 visitors car parking plus a car washing bay. The only public transport is a bus and a long walk to the tram. STOP LETTING THE DEVELOPERS GET AWAY WITH CAR PARKING REDUCTION
Neighbours. FYI At a recent council Urban Planning Meeting is was clear that some councillors support reducing carparking requirements moving forwards at developments because they support the idea of encouraging less use of cars in Boroondara for climate and sustainability reasons. They want to see more residents using public transport and walking. They seemed to see it as an inevitable council strategy.
Councillors who publicly say that car park reductions are a catalyst for reduced car use are either deluded or not being honest with ratepayers. It’s another one or two apartments which satisfies the greed of developers coming hard at Camberwell with little resistance from council we all protect the space and amenity existing residents live here to enjoy. Or perhaps the greed resides with council seeing the extra 1 or 2 rate payers per year multiplied by the number of overdeveloped buildings they are blindly approving against the will of existing residents. Completely unrepresentative and unacceptable.
Interesting council members subscribe to reduced car parking. We are a family of 4. On works in Port Melbourne, one a night shift worker in Malvern, one in Campbellfield one in Trugannini. Councillors meet with your constituents!!!!!!!
Tell me how we all catch public transport!!! Delusional and idealistic that we can catch public transport.
