Planning amendments including Design Development Overlays (DDOs) are sitting on the planning minister’s desk.They provide controls on new developments including built form, height, setbacks and shadowing.
In the meantime there is nothing to prevent developers going straight to VCAT to get what they want as there are no firm rules. These planning amendments now need to have consent from the Planning Minister.
We’ve all been gritting our teeth through the current Cremorne craziness without any guiding hand for too long now. We all need to share our personal story with the planning minister to move this along. A decent collection of personal messages to Sonya Kilkenny will not only show her we exist but will help to create a great, liveable Cremorne before it gets trashed
