Let's face fact.
Council will rubber stamp most of these development over-developments because they align with the State Governments high density planning framework, and heritage control is tepid especially north of the railway line.
There would not even be a railway line above ground in Werribee, if the council was doing its job and not laying down to the whims of state government single mindedly implementing third best eyesore overpasses in fraudulent promise to get you home from work earlier.
Now Covid has you home most of the time, but wait till you see what the traffic will be like if we ever get out of lockdown. Who will ride train if they have a choice?
Bicycles back big time but not welcome on the overpasses.
People need to turn up at face to face council meetings to have their voices heard, and in the gallery and on the steps of parliament. Peacefully and respectfully articulate your concerns knowing that numbers matter.
You can attend VCAT hearings too.
