Kingston Council has vowed to “fight every step of the way”, as it lashed out against the State Government’s approval of 941 homes on the former Kingswood Golf Course.

 
Mayor Georgina Oxley said the council and Dingley Village community were “angered and deeply disappointed” by the announcement on 18 October.

“More than 1,400 residents took the time to make submissions. They were ignored.

“The Government’s own advisory processes identified serious concerns. They were dismissed.”

Kingston will demand a binding infrastructure contributions package to reflect the “real cost” of supporting thousands of new residents and mitigating flood impacts, Cr Oxley said.

“This decision may have been made in Spring Street, but the consequences will be felt in Kingston for generations.

“We will continue to fight for our community every step of the way.”
