1. The Barrister states West Melbourne church Crown grant, land can’t be used for any other purpose whatsoever. https://youtu.be/LXb75szOo48

2. I believe that this development is too crowded for the spot, and the loss of the house on the land would be a great shame for West Melbourne. It is a fine example of the period, and there is very few of the arts and crafts movement type houses left in the area.

   4 high rises on this corner will make the space so crowded and a wind tunnel for the traffic and pedestrians, as a current open space there, this would be much better served as a park, and the house could become the Community centre for west Melbourne.

   Please don't develop our town as a new South Bank. West Melbourne might have an industrial past, but it currently has a community feel that is rapidly eroding with each new high rise in the area.

3. This developement is unsuited to the area and feel of West Melbourne. There is opportuniy for this space to become a central meeting and activities area to support the development of Errol Street into a vibrant shopping and cafe strip.

   To demolish the house that is currently on this site would be a great loss to the heritgage and history of West Melbourne. There a very few building from this period with our area. we should be trying to protect the history of West Melbourne and maintaining the village community feel of the suburb.

   This typ of proposed developement are better suited to the north of King Street and the south Duddley Street.

4. The land was granted to the Baptist church of the time for the benefit of the denizens of the locality. The shonky church of today has no right to satisfy its greed with a horribly over-sized and ugly structure, completely out of place in the proposed location. And who needs another 'convenience' shop, let alone another 74 apartments in an area which is rapidly losing its charms to developers' avarice? A community centre and park/garden, combined with a smaller, much more harmonious housing development, would benefit the community far more than this excessively large structure.
