All recent comments on applications from Hume City Council, VIC

The owner of this land is currently going through liquidation and subdividing the land would be in violation of Section 588FG(2) of the Corporations Act 2001. The owner is attempting to diminsh the value of the companies assets in order to avoid paying certain creditors. I believe the approval of this application should not proceed based on the information above.

Please ensure the road and footpath are kept neat and tidy and clear of debris.

Great news
Can't wait to learn further details.

To the Hume City Council, please plan urgently the necessary entrance and exit points for the vehicles into and out of Providence road and Bond road onto and out off Mickham road as the current situation is already dangerous and congested already.
It is fair to say that housing is important to Victoria and especially in the North, however, footpaths, bike access to schools and bus stops and services need to be addressed urgently. Currently l live in Helenic drive GREENVALE and working a way for our 11 year old to ride to GREENVALE Primary school is not safe or easy.

As you are likely aware, Mahoneys Road is already experiencing a significant influx of traffic, particularly during peak hours. The prospect of a business park in the vicinity raises serious concerns about exacerbating the existing traffic problems. The claims of having appropriate traffic lights and control measures are, in my opinion, inaccurate, and I fear that the proposed development will only worsen the already challenging commute for local residents. As a homeowner/occupier resident who already struggles to access my property on a good day, the increase of cars and lack of appropriate traffic lights surrounding the intended business park will actually create more of a burden to residents than good.

It is disheartening to note that there has been no apparent effort to seek input from the local community regarding the potential impact of this business park. As a resident, I feel that our voices and concerns have been overlooked in the decision-making process. I strongly urge the council to prioritize community engagement and consider the views of those who will be directly affected by this development.

The safety of residents should be paramount in any decision regarding significant developments. Given the history of crashes on the M80 and instances of people cutting across Mahoneys Road, it is evident that the area is already prone to safety issues. Introducing a business park without addressing these concerns adequately is a recipe for disaster.

The residential population in the area is growing, and it is essential to consider the implications of introducing a business park in such close proximity. I believe that responsible urban planning should prioritize the well-being and quality of life for existing residents.

Rather than placing a business park so close to residential areas, I propose that alternative locations further away from residential zones be explored.

I would like to draw your attention to the amount of traffic congestion that will be created when and if this proposal is accepted. I live in Grandview Bvd about 100 metres north of the project. We already have problems with traffic during drop off and pickup of school children, I have to continually ask drivers to refrain from parking across my driveway, i have reported this to council. if i want to get my caravan out of or into my driveway i can't do it between 7.45am to 9.00am or between 2.30pm to 4.00pm due to either traffic flow, our vehicles parked either side the driveway and the street. If this project does go ahead maybe the developer could approach the council to rezone the top end of the disused parkland abating Canisby way to create parking for both the Mother Teresa Catholic Primary School and the project which would reduce some of the congestion and parking problems.

My guess this is for the Woolworths complex CNR of Brossard Rd and Ellscot Bld.
I'll be using a coffee shop if one's included in the complex.

Hello,

I am doing research in the area and would like to see the plan for this area if this can be shared.

The property is on Ginger Cres and i want to know what the future road plans are for this area also.

Thank you

Regards,

Is this the removal of the native Greybox forest for the airport runway? Endangered parrots and other native animals live in this area and would lose their homes.

l would like more information regarding this application

I am a resident of this Lane and feel it would be inappropriate with the current infrastructure to allow for public meeting space. This is a single lane road that is in a state of very bad disrepair without adding extra traffic.

I don't agree to place a place of worship in this area. Infrastructure of our current roads isn't up to standard and creating more traffic in the area is only going to make the roads worse. I currently cant even drive down that road without causing damage to my car due to the pot holes. It's also creating a public space for non residents to come into Bulla. We already have a rubbish issue with the current "plane lookout" that was meant to be shut down.

Can the statement, "Use of land for veterinary centre and waiver of four car parking spaces" be explained more clearly please? As the address is already a Vet Centre, and what does a waiver of 4 car parking spaces actually mean? thank you.

To whom it may concern at Hume City Council,
My husband and I have no issues with the allowance of a permit for trucks to park at this property. There is 10 acres of land and is well established to allow for this business to operate.
It also keeps the congestion of the large trucks to not be parked on roads creating more safety space for traffic to move frequently as I drive on this road everyday to and from work.

We highly support for the approval of this permit to go ahead as this is a positive benefit for all truck drivers that need to park and the community traffic that travels through this area.

Thank you for your time on this matter
Kind Regards.

To the Hume City Council,

I am writing to express my strong support for the application proposing a small family business to park trucks on their 10-acre property at 1395 Somerton Road. I firmly believe that this development will bring several valuable benefits to our community and contribute positively to our local economy. Here are some compelling reasons why the application should be approved:

Support for Local Entrepreneurs: Allowing the small family business to park their trucks on their own property will be a significant show of support for local entrepreneurship. It is essential to encourage and nurture small businesses as they play a crucial role in building a vibrant and resilient community.

Economic Growth: By permitting the family business to operate on their property, we can bolster economic growth in our area. Small businesses often reinvest their earnings back into the community, which can stimulate further job creation and foster a prosperous local economy.

Reduced Traffic Congestion: Allowing the trucks to park on-site will prevent the need for them to park on public roads or in residential areas. This will help reduce traffic congestion and promote safer streets for pedestrians and motorists alike.

Preservation of Green Spaces: Approving this application for a small family business ensures that the land is put to productive use without sacrificing the natural beauty and green spaces in our neighborhood. Preserving these areas is crucial for maintaining a healthy environment and preserving the aesthetic appeal of our community.

Noise and Environmental Impact: Small family businesses typically have lower noise and environmental impact compared to large industrial operations. By approving this application, we can ensure that the property is utilized in a manner that aligns with the peaceful and residential character of the surrounding area.

Property Value Stability: Allowing the family business to utilize their property for their operations will contribute to property value stability in the vicinity. A well-maintained and responsibly run business can positively influence property prices in the area and make it an attractive place to live for prospective homebuyers.

Community Engagement: Local family businesses often have a deep-rooted connection to the community they serve. By permitting this application, we can foster stronger ties between the business and residents, leading to increased community engagement and support.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that approving the application for the small family business to park trucks on their property at 1395 Somerton Road will be a boon for our community. The economic benefits, reduced traffic congestion, preservation of green spaces, and the positive impact on property values make it a well-rounded proposal that deserves our full support.

I kindly urge the Hume City Council to carefully consider the positive impacts this development will have on our community's growth and prosperity and to approve the application.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I have no issue with this. I believe the 10acreage land size is more than enough to provide adequate space between properties without bothering neighbouring properties. Trees planted along fence lines can also provide added privacy. And this approval with help keep larger vehicles off the roads and provide them with a safe, private and secure park off council roads. This also will help with road congestion keeping large vehicles from travelling too far when working in the local and city areas. Nobody like driving behind large vehicles so providing a closer park area to work sites will help keep them off tight suburban areas.
Happy to go ahead

The application to have the land subdivided should not proceed as the owner is currently going through insolvency court proceedings and is attempting fraud by avoiding its obligations to creditors. Multi-sibdivision will only allow the owner to shift part of its asset and decrease the value of what it owns so it can avoid paying what is owed to creditors.

We purchased a house in this court back in 2021 for being in a quiet area, for our children to grow up in, to be able to play in the court and walk to school.
Council have already approved subdivision for 3 townhouses at the end of the court at number 13 woodlands court. Therefore creating no longer 4 dwellings at the end of the court but now 6 cramped houses, to approve a further 3 townhouses will now create a squished and unliveable space at the end of the court with 8 dwellings. The cars alone in the court are restricted already, not to mention the bins and amount of traffic this will create.
Completely taking away the peaceful court life that we purchased back in 2021.
It is not possible to have this many dwellings at the end of an already squished court, townhouses like this should only be approved on streets that can cater for this amount of traffic.

We cant possibly allow another waste business to operate in Bulla. We already have too many issues with the ones we have. The disgracefull management of the main Bulla tip should be warning enough of what can happen. The is a high growth residential area, we dont need more eyesores operating along our main roads and with already overcrowded substandard roads full of trucks.

What size are the proposed lots?

You’ve had this planning request 7 months ago? And on the planning website 6 months ago and now you only registered this here now? I’d hate to be loving close to this if it’s got houses overlooking my backyard without frosted glass for example. Extremely poor form. I’d hate for this to be some form of dodgyiness from staff or worse ineptitude. Pull those socks up!

I live very close this lot and unfortunately, I have not received any information about this development. Very poor approval process from the Hume Council.

Hi,

I have a list of reason why I oppose this submission -

•Residential
•Green wedge
•Single lane Street
•Proximity to flight path
•Proximity to multiple already established transfer stations in Hume
•More truck traffic on a route that is already under significant strain
•Lack of information provided i.e what sort of waste? Operation hours?
•The fact that there is already clearly some sort of waste company working from this premises before the submission has been made
•Pollution
•air quality

To think that such a small community like Bulla could potentially have 3 waste facilities is actually unbelievable. It is a very firm no from me.

Thank you

I find this development unbelievable, especially the availability to all accessories in the lifestyle area. I recommend this plan without reservation since I think it will improve this suburb's economic situation and job opportunities.
