The need to show support for
Bayside Planning Amendment C140 if it is to be
achieved.

What’s New

Action
to support this
Amendment is essential to ensure
that limits are placed on the
high degree of overdevelopment
occurring in Beaumaris and the
wider Bayside municipality.
Council’s proposal needs
residents’ strong support if it
is to gain the approval by a
Panel, and the Planning
Minister, that it will need
before it can be implemented.
Amendment C140 is at www.bayside.vic.gov.au/caring_for_bayside/6801.htm

In December 2015, Bayside City
Council admirably resolved, on
the motion of Cr Alex del Porto,
seconded by Cr Heather Stewart,
to seek the Planning Minister’s
necessary approval for gazetting
Amendment C140 to the Bayside
Planning Scheme.

BCS Inc, a submitter to Bayside
Council of a written case in
favour of Amendment C140, has
received the attached notice
from Planning Panels Victoria
about the next stage in this
important process. BCS Inc.
officers will attend the
preliminary Directions Hearing
referred to, but it is vital
that as many BCS Inc. members
and Bayside residents as
possible register, before 29
February 2016, to be heard at
the subsequent Public Hearings,
whose dates, starting in late
March 2016, are yet to be fixed.

The second page of the attached
file gives details of the Public
Hearings process. The last page
of that page deals with the
lodging of the necessary Request
to be Heard form, but the
hyperlink shown in red for an
online lodging of that form
fails to work, so intending
submitters should pre-register
by using
www.dtpli.vic.gov.au/planning/panels-and-committees/request-to-be-heard-form
instead.

Bayside Council is to be greatly
commended for proposing and resolving
to submit Planning Amendment C140 for approval
by the Planning Minister. It aims to preserve
Bayside suburbs’ neighbourhood character, but a
developers’ campaign to scuttle it could have
succeeded without residents’ strong support for
it.

A front page of the Bayside

Leader revealed the efforts of
developers’ campaign against C140. It is
critical that residents send a strong message of
support for Planning Amendment C140.
