Melbourne has Victoria’s first lieutenant-governor, Charles La Trobe, to thank for the city’s substantial inner-ring parks; it was his vision that made Melbourne a garden city.How nearby buildings overshadow Gardiner Reserve on winter afternoons.“La Trobe would be turning in his grave if he knew how much sunlight is now at risk of being lost in Melbourne’s parks,” says Melbourne City Council’s planning chair, Nick Reece.
Laws surrounding sunlight and towers overshadowing parks have not been properly updated since 1999, when Melbourne had fewer tall buildings. The existing laws also assume people use parks between 11am and 2pm. In areas with height limits over four storeys, limited additional overshadowing would be allowed, to balance sunlight access to parks with the need to support development intensification.
Yes the five o’clock shadow that creeps across the Fawkner park wickets can make batting treacherous.
