Planning & Development
The Planning Committee meets monthly to review these development plans, and to decide whether or not the CRA should lodge objections. The Group Coordinator checks the weekly lists of planning applications on CoM’s website, and requests plans of applications for 3053. Generally objections relate to non–compliance, erosion of amenity, height, heritage, Design Overlay. When required, the committee writes formal objections and prepares briefs for CRA submissions to VCAT.
Liquor licensing applications are now available on line.
Responses
'The Carlton Residents Association (CRA) congratulates the University of Melbourne on the philosophy underlying the 2008 Master Plan.
However CRA is alarmed to learn the Master Plan will continue long-term University policy of expansion off-campus into historic Carlton. The University has an appalling record in its dealings with Victorian era heritage buildings, squares and street-scapes with total disregard for heritage, height, mass and amenity'.
