Lax planning rules in the CBD’s south-east corner expose the city to Gold Coast-style development that may overshadow Birrarung Marr, a Melbourne councillor warns.
He said there were ‘‘critical errors’’ with the government’s proposed planning controls, including a failure to add the council’s new design overlay and an amendment to protect the city’s parks from overshadowing.‘‘I’m a little bit angry about what I’m perceiving to be an incredibly poor process. And it’s not enough for us to politely request that these changes be made prior to [the] final exhibition.
Planning Minister Richard Wynne excluded 'Spring Street South', which encompasses the 1.4-hectare site, from the sunlight to public parks amendment, along with the Hoddle Grid, Southbank and Docklands. “Right now there is no vision, there is no security, there's no fallback, it's just a land sale,” he said.
