In a major shock, the massive South East Sports Hub (SESH) in Bangholme – as well as a housing estate at a Keysborough Green Wedge golf course – are both off the table.

 
Property developer Intrapac, who was in partnership with Keysborough Golf Club (KGC), has withdrawn its application for the 70-hectare sports and recreation precinct at 226-256 Pillars Road.

The plan was controversially tied to the rezoning of the golf club’s current home in the Green Wedge – a move that the State Government resolutely refused.

After a 10 year campaign by opponents, Greater Dandenong Environment Group president Isabelle Nash welcomed the “great news” that “the towel has been thrown in”.

“It’s been an exhausting process. We’re happy that the State Government stood by their word and didn’t rezone the golf course and change the Urban Growth Boundary.”

She expected a different outcome after the government’s recent approval of the Dingley Village development plan, and a beefed-up plan for 164 townhouses at 182 Chapel Road, which adjoins Keysborough Golf Course.

“Knowing that green space and old trees will remain and we won’t be fighting another 1500 cars in morning and evening traffic… it’s not just good for residents and the golfing community but also the birds, insects, bats and wildlife on that course.”
