Tuesday 11th Meeting re Objection to Forum-MTC Site Proposal

Posted on by
The Hosier Lane residents group and other interested parties are meeting this Tuesday night (11th March 2014) at the Misty Bar 3-5 Hosier Lane off Flinders Street.  Time 6:30pm.
Mariner is proposing to renovate the facade of the heritage theatre but not the interior.  Residents are concerned that the current proposed development is a typical Mariner deal where heritage rules can be over turned as a reward for maintaining his own property – The Forum.  In this instance Mariner is asking permission of the government to break the 40mt heritage height restriction for the area and produce a hotel/commercial development of 33 floors at 106mt.
Even if the development was reduced by 10 stories the concept does not take account of waste management or delivery/loading in such a busy lane way.   Pedestrian and vehicle access alone will be unfavourably impacted not to mention the existing businesses and residents.
Come along to the meeting to find out more about the development.

Posted on by

Topics which are likely to be of interest to 3000 residents:

Ministerial Referral: Four towers, one of 300 m to be built on the former Age site.  See

https://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/AboutCouncil/Meetings/Pages/4February2014.aspx

Note.  Since this is ministerial referral it can be assumed that this has already basically been approved by the Minister.

Please think about Nominating….

Yes another year has passed and it’s time for our 2013 AGM on 7th November. We ask that CBD residents consider nominating for the committee of 2014. The job is not hard or time consuming and if there are good numbers, the work is easily divided. You may be interested in a single project or enjoy writing for the website or have skills you may like to offer..don’t be shy, please contact us at yolande@bigpond.net.au or residents@residents3000.net.au

The AGM papers will be on the website and circulated to members in a few days.

Here’s hoping!
