With regards to A frames, can I clarify something please? I have permission from the store manager to stand outside the entrance of Aldi on the corner of Oriel Rd and Bell Street at some times. At these times, I set up with an A frame but I do not walk around with it. Do I need a permit for this? |
An A-frame permit is not required if the A-frame will be placed within the private title boundary. A permit will be required if the A-frame goes beyond the property boundary and on to public property. |

Regarding the petition of residences in Heidelberg Heights that Council separated to go into the submission made by me to the C172 Melbourne Panel. I believe this petition should still be heard at the Council meeting when it comes back to council after the elections for their decision. The residences are still very strong about this outcome and what it will mean for this area. It is the democratic right for their petition to be heard. Please advise if you have heard from the Panel regarding the recommendations and that the petition is legally rightful of residences to be heard when it comes back to council for the decision. |
Under Council’s Governance Rules a petition in relation to any statutory matter, such as a planning scheme amendment under the Planning and Environment Act 1987, is not tabled as a petition to a Council meeting, rather is received as a submission to this process. The specific Governance Rule is 69 Petitions – Part (9) as follows: If a petition relates to a ‘planning matter’ or a ‘statutory matter’ which is the subject of a public submissions process in accordance with the relevant legislation, the petition will be treated as a joint submission in relation to the ‘planning matter’ or the ‘statutory matter’ ... Statutory Matters - (subject to separate submission process) (Planning) - Matters under the Planning and Environment Act 1987 ...The petition was included and reported to Council along with all the other submissions made to the Planning Scheme Amendment C172 as part of Council’s consideration of the amendment at its Ordinary Meeting on 20 May 2024. In accordance with our Statutory Obligations, the Panel Report will be made available to the public on our website on 30 September 2024. As we are in the Election Caretaker Period, the Panel Report will not be reported back to Council until after the election has been declared. Council will receive a report in relation to the Panel Report and will in due course have to make a decision whether to proceed with the amendment and if so in what form. These processes will happen at a public Council meeting. |

Redevelopment of the Ivanhoe Water Tank site was recently posted on the Shaping Banyule site, displaying Craig Landon as Mayor, who has not been with Council for 4 years. This does not have dates, can be misinterpreted and was associated with the Bell Street development. |
The Shaping Banyule web page found here, Shaping Banyule Ivanhoe Water Tank, in which we are assuming you are referring to, references the Open Space Plan 2016–2031 in the document library. This includes a message from the former Mayor Craig Langdon on page 2. Please note that The Open Space Plan is a 15-year plan that was adopted by Council in 2016 and continues to be in force. There is no requirement for Council to take down pictures stemming back to this date, or previous councillors, who are current candidates. We do not agree that this publication could be associated with the Bell Street Development or influence voters in the 2024 election. |

Could you please provide a landscape plan and any arborist report done for any part of 44 to 72 Turnham Ave, Rosanna, from before Woolworths time? For example, from when it was designed for council use and also for the library grounds. |
There were no landscape plans or arborist reports contained within records recalled from off-site storage. After an extensive search, a site plan for 44 Turnham Avenue was supplied, along with photographs of the Rosanna Squash Courts. The site plan and photographs were emailed to each candidate. |
