Brunswick electorate
Dr READ (Brunswick) (14:47): (6402) My question is for the Minister for Planning. Across the road from the north end of Princes Park at 699 Park Street is the site for a proposed large apartment development by Mirvac. A previous development proposed by JWLand was rejected by Moreland council and by VCAT. Apparently this project has to be decided by the minister under the development facilitation program. Many in the local community and many users of the park are concerned about the impact of an oversized development at this site and about overshadowing of Princes Park. Will the minister refer the plans for this development to Moreland council so that he can be informed by their assessment?
