INVITATION TO ATTEND COMMUNITY MEETING
12 noon Saturday 5 September
@ Bridge Street opposite Albion Charles Hotel
Dear Neighbours,
You are invited to attend a brief meeting (approx. 15 minutes) to discuss the pending Planning Consultation Meeting regarding the proposed development of 38 Merri Parade.
The purpose of the get together is to brief you as to how the Wednesday night meeting will run and what you can do to help. Wednesday 9 September is the date for the Consultation Meeting, at the Shire Hall, 286 Gower Street Preston, from 6:30 to 7:30pm.
If you are unable to attend our Saturday meeting, the main points that we will be discussing are:
- What to expect at the Planning Consultation Meeting;
- Our need to have as many residents as possible to attend the Planning Consultation Meeting;
- How to present ourselves as a unified, rational group;
- Our intention to win the support of Council;
- Finding agreement on someone to speak on our collective behalves, with scope for hearing from individual objectors, due to the very limited timeframe of the meeting.
Hope to see you there!
Best wishes in opposing this development which seems entirely out of scale with the surrounding environment. We are dealing with similar issues in Woolton Ave Thornbury, just up St Georges Rd
ReplyDeleteThanks John,
ReplyDeleteYes we're definitely facing a comprehensive redevelopment within Darebin and the inner city in general. Reminding me of the ethos that dominated state planning through the 50s to the 80s.
