New Housing Density Proposal

Jeff from Freemans Bay

What a disaster. Seems good in theory until you see what they actually propose. Many suburbs are now zoned as mixed housing so nothing to stop developers buying properties and putting up low level apartment blocks. This includes suburbs like Westmere and Pt Chev.

Many suburbs are now zoned as mixed housing so nothing to stop developers buying properties and putting up low level apartment blocks. This includes suburbs like Westmere and Pt Chev. In fact dozens of suburbs. I suggest you provide feedback. A general rant isn’t good enough - they want specific comments on changes around large and small “town centres’ as well as on incorporating extra protection for areas of special character. You will need to do it on a desktop or grunty laptop as you need the maps and the legend open as well as the feedback form all at the same time. Impossible on a tablet or phone. And to find the special character overlay you have to click on ‘layers’ in the top left corner , choose the second menu block on the left, then scroll down and click on the special character overlay which is greyed out. Yes really. Ridiculous. I will post the link in a seperate box in a few minutes. This is one time you need to tell them what you think
