tecoma supermarket - vcat hearing date set

Save Tecoma have advised that they have received notice that the VCAT hearing to consider the Tecoma Supermarket application will be held on the 22nd June, 2009.

I spoke about the role of council and the planning process at the first public protest for the proposed Tecoma Supermarket application in October last year.
By the time the application was considered by Council we had received 531 objections to the proposal and 16 separate petitions against the application.

I have pencilled the date into my diary and will be observing the deliberations with great interest. It is my view that the application is an overdevelopment of the site, it’s a building that provides a three storey blank concrete wall to the majority of the population of Tecoma. It has significant amenity issues; traffic, noise and visual bulk to name a few….to read more about what I said about the application at the council meeting follow this link.
