Stonnington planning

Stonnington planning

Michael O’BRIEN (Malvern) (13:10): I am also calling out the underhanded way in which the Labor government is going about stripping Stonnington council of planning controls around Chadstone shopping centre. First Labor flagged that the activity centre would actually be in the Chadstone suburb, only to switch it to the shopping centre, which is in Malvern East. Next they gave little time for community consultation on shoving high-rise, high-density overdevelopment into this area. In fact if the government wanted a new slogan, they could go with ‘Pretend to consult, and do what we want’, because that is how Labor appears to my electorate.
