Dear Melville Residents and Interested Parties,

We seem to be inundated with large, high-density planning applications at present. While we as a committee of the MRA, with the ward councillor and the city are working hard on a proactive way to deal with these applications, we ask that you remain active citizens and we remain reactive to such developments. 

(REZONING) OF ERVEN 48 AND 49, MELVILLE, FROM RESIDENTIAL 1 TO RESIDENTIAL 4 AND THE CONSOLIDATION OF SAID ERVEN (35 & 37 1st Ave Melville)

The application is on a site of two single-story neighbouring houses on 1st Ave, currently being run as a backpackers. They propose merging the properties, demolishing the houses, and building a three to four-story block on the double stand. It will hold 51 en-suite rooms, parking under the building which will be on stilts, and bus parking on the pavement outside.

Please find attached our objection which you can use to inform your own if you wish to object.

Deadline 22 June 2022 at 15h00

PLEASE EDIT THE DOCUMENT. DON’T USE ALL THE POINTS, ONLY WHAT YOU FEEL APPLIES TO YOU. IF ALL THE OBJECTIONS ARE THE SAME THEY ARE COUNTED AS ONE PETITION, NOT MULTIPLE OBJECTIONS.
