Hi All, Tristan has approved that I communicate this message about another development in Beaumaris which is the Beaumaris RSL. It is going to be developed into upto 42 townhouses, 90% of the trees removed and a concrete jungle erected. We only have until Monday to lodge objections. We have strongly supported the save the pub campaign and we need your help. It will only take a moment the details are below to make it easier for you. Many thanks VCAT – Planning and Environment, GPO Box 5408, Melbourne 3001. Email: [email protected] Bayside City Council – Royal Ave Sandringham Vic 3191 Email: [email protected] Perry Town Planning – 13/30 Collins St Melbourne Vic 3000 Email: [email protected] And heres the letter Put date here Put your address here To Whom It May Concern, Re: VCAT Reference P1885/2014 Bayside Council Reference 5/2014/516/1 489 Balcombe Rd and 67-71 Haydens Rd Beaumaris 3193 Known as the Beaumaris RSL site. I wish to lodge an objection to the proposed development of the RSL site located at the above address. The applicant wishes to demolish all existing buildings, remove existing large trees and vegetation, subdivide the existing land into 21 lots, alter the existing driveway to become a new access road and remove existing easements. My concerns about this proposed development are: Removal of existing historic buildings and boundary walls that are a landmark in the suburb. Removal of existing large trees and virtually all vegetation that help to clearly define the character of Beaumaris as a green and leafy suburb. Increased traffic congestion on both Balcombe Rd, Haydens Rd and Bolton St. This is particularly significant as almost next door a residential apartment block of 19 units has been approved and will be built and this will already add significantly to the traffic flow on Balcombe Rd. Increased pressure on infrastructure (eg stormwater) that will have difficulty in coping with the addition of a large amount of housing in a small geographic area. Visual bulk directly affecting all surrounding neighbours, particularly as setbacks are only 6 metres, backyards are only 4 metres, and the proposed building envelope for most blocks run to the boundary, potentially allowing for two dwellings on each block. This could allow for up to 42 dwellings to be built on the site. Beaumaris is a suburb known for its mid century architecture, green vegetation and family friendly living. Overdevelopment of this site will significantly alter the character of the area to the detriment of its residents.
