1. A high density proposal such as this is not in keeping with neighbourhood character. Kilby Road is a local not main road and the approval of this project would create a precedent for changing the character of the local residential area. Although there is surrounding parkland much of this is inaccessible to local residents at peak times of weekends and evenings due to the domination of formal organised club based sport. High density development would therefore also put pressure on local infrastructure including access to local space, water run off and canopy tree cover.

2. The type of development being proposed on the two large blocks at 187 & 191 Kilby Road is perfect for this location. 187 Kilby Road, is across the street from the Glass Street Park and Kindergarten, close to Kew High School, a block away from Hays Paddock, and close to Muscat Creek Reserve and the Main Yarra Trail and adjacent golf courses. The suggestion that there is not enough parkland in this area for local residents is absolutely ridiculous. We need more medium density housing like this to prevent urban sprawl, and only an environmental vandal would advocate against it.

3. Hidden by site administrators
