All recent comments on applications from South Gippsland Shire Council, VIC

I live at the house right now id love to see a kennel here lots of farms have dogs in the area be a great idea but for now what happens to me when this is being started I'm worryed my peace will be gone. Im the renter.

I think it is a great idea,my only concern is the parking availability,congestion and the safety of the patrons at an intersection.If the area has the upgrade as promised and angle parking is introduced,I feel this would help the parking congestion.Perhaps a pedestrian crossing would be to an advantage.

I strongly object to this application. Venus Bay is a tranquil and peaceful rural place, a haven for wombats, kangaroos and echidnas. They need the reserves and the flora of the area to move about and survive, removal of trees and bush put these animals at risk. I cannot see the need for units in this area and in particular my street. Our property contains 1 Bradley Avenue and I cannot believe there is a proposal for units in my street. Venus Bay should remain a quiet seaside hamlet, that's why we bought in this area and not become over developed

This is overdevelopment of the community there is NO need for 4 units on 2 blocks, VB is a RURAL location, not downtown Richmond. This will negatively affect the aesthetic feel to the area and impact the flora and fauna of the blocks and surrounding area.
NOTE: Also there is NO attachment to the submission as there should be.

I would like to know the reason for this planning application, the last thing Venus Bay needs is more vacant blocks, there are hundreds already for sale and have been on the market for some time.. Rather than we, the concerned rate payers and land owners voicing reasons why this should NOT be done (and there are many), it is the Shires responsibility to come up with reasons why this should be done. What are the benefits to the flora and fauna, and the VB ratepayers and the surrounding environment. The best thing about VB is the open spaces and parks, and now you are reducing this, just for a few dollars, whoever came up with this idea obviously does not live in VB nor care about the town.

Venus Bay is an environmentally sensitive area and overdevelopment of blocks should not be permitted. Four units on two blocks is excessive and would require removal of too much native vegetation. Bradley Avenue abuts Cape Liptrap Coastal Park and forms part of a vegetation corridor for native fauna.

This development is out of keeping with the environmentally sensitive low key residential estate. It has a huge footprint and requires massive vegetation removal from a fragile sand dune. This will destroy native fauna habitat to a far greater extent than necessary or desirable. The vegetation is what binds the sand and prevents erosion.

The building is excessive in size and height, overwhelming surrounding blocks and should be required to minimize its visual impact by retention of as much native vegetation as possible. Additional native vegetation should not be permitted to be removed.

How dare you. This is our park. What are your doing selling our park? And this park which was zoned PPRZ!

You have a legal obligation to reinvest the income from a sale of public open space back into public recreation - it cannot go to general revenue, and you know it, so why sell our public park when you have no plan for how you intend to spend the income.

This demonstrates your complete bloody-mindedness and disregard for the for the citizens of Venus Bay who have objected to this over and over and over again. You are supposed to be acting in our interest. I will be writing a complaint to the ombudsman today.
