Since our last update we have heard that the developer has not appealed the Court of Appeal’s decision to the High Court.
The Minister for Planning is now expected to convene an Advisory Committee to provide advice to him on the use of the site. The BCNA wants to see the Advisory Committee established as soon as possible.
The Advisory Committee is expected to seek submissions from those who have an interest in the site. This would include the Victorian Ports Corporation, Melbourne (VCPM), the City of Port Phillip, TT-Line and the BCNA. The VPCM has long argued against residential development at that site because it has the potential to compromise port operations.
