It has been brought to my attention that any objections to the development at 145-165 Midland Hwy (land between Poyser/Post Office) need to be submitted by this Friday 13th December.

I would encourage anyone with concerns about his development to have a look at the plans and submit a written objection. Plans can be found on the council website and our facebook group. Information on how to make an objection can be found here https://www.bendigo.vic.gov.au/building-and-business/planning/objecting-planning-application

I want to be clear that we are not against development in general and that is not our goal. What I want is developments that do not compromise the safety of our community and provide best outcomes.

If council receive enough objections this gives us the opportunity to enter into discussion/negotiations and potentially force developers to alter plans like has happened with other developments.

I haven't had a chance to go over all the documents completely (there is a lot) but my own immediate concerns regard the position of the entry/exits along the Hwy and Howard st plus proximity to intersection. It also worries me that they are requesting reduction of car/bike parking and building over land that will be subject to acquisition for Highway. This kind of plan creates a nasty precedent and legacy that will be harder to get the improvements we need in the future.
