DEAR COMMUNITY

WE NEED YOUR HELP AS THIS IS TIME CRITICAL 

1/ AN INTERIM HERITAGE ORDER BY COUNCIL TOGETHER WITH DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT 76 WAS DENIED BY THE STATE PLANNING MINISTER AT SOME POINT THUS PREVENTING THE USUAL AND PROPER HERITAGE ASSESSMENT

THE NEW EVIDENCE DID NOT ACTUALLY APPEAR TO RECEIVE PROPER REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION AS IS STANDARD FOR THE HERITAGE PROCESS

THEN VERY INCONVENIENTLY AT LEAST FOR THE COMMUNITY, WE FOUND THIS OUT THE DAY BEFORE VCAT MEDIATION ON 8/11/22 IN A PREELECTION PERIOD

THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES RECENTLY WITH THE MINISTER DENYING HERITAGE APPLICATIONS JUST PRIOR TO VCAT

2/ THE DEVELOPERS OF 76 WATTLE ROAD APPLIED FOR A PLANNING PERMIT 

YOUR OBJECTIONS LED TO ACTION BY COUNCIL

COUNCIL REFUSED THE PERMIT GIVEN IT WAS CONSIDERED AN INAPPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT

CURRENTLY DEVELOPERS APPEAL IS BEING EXPEDITED IN VCAT WITH A SADLY PREDICTABLE RESULT AND ANOTHER DEMOLITION + INAPPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT

THE LOCAL LABOR STATE MEMBER FOR HAWTHORN HAS NOT EVEN RESPONDED TO THE COMMUNITY CONCERN BUT SPOKE TO THE MINISTER WHO APPARENTLY DECLINED TO VISIT NOT WANTING TO HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH DEVELOPERS!? WHO HAVE BEEN GREATLY ASSISTED BY THIS? PROCESS

WE ARE NOT AGAINST PUBLIC HOUSING OR DEVELOPMENT BUT IT SHOULD APPROPRIATE

WE HOPE THIS PETITION WILL LEAD TO TIME POST ELECTION TO ALLOW PROPER TRANSPARENT CONSIDERATION FOR PROCESS BY THE PLANNING MINISTER

WE ARE IN A TRICKY PRE-ELECTION PERIOD AND SO DIFFICULT TO GET INFORMATION, SEEK PARLIMENTARY SUPPORT AND NOT POSSIBLE TO SUBMIT A PETITION TO THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY

HENCE PLEASE THIS ONLINE PETITION
