There have been quite a few objectors to the way the new Central Walk Drysdale subdivision has been marketed. Many private properties have been included in the plan without the agreement of the individual owners.
The Bellarine Independent reported in "Plan was City idea: developer" on Friday 19 August 2011 that
CITY Hall asked developers to include private properties in advertising for a new Drysdale residential estate, according to the company behind the project.
Urban Land Developments director Ross Closter said council endorsed a development plan that appeared in advertising for the estate.
Mr Closter said the City requested that he include the privately owned properties surrounding the development to show how the area “could be one integrated development site”.
The Independent revealed last week that residents surrounding the estate were “surprised” to see their properties for sale as part of the development.
Seems like all this Council wants to do is give real estate developers what they want at the expense of local residents. Must be only 15 months to the next election.....!
