Planning Committee recommends refusal of permit for five-storey Portarlington building
Council’s Planning Committee has recommended the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) refuse a planning permit for a proposed five-storey apartment building in Portarlington.
The proposed building, on a visually prominent site at 49 Newcombe Street, would feature 13 apartments, two shops and a basement car park.
Given the slope of the land, the building would have the appearance of being three storeys from Newcombe Street, and five storeys from the parkland and pier to the north.
It would have a maximum height of 14.3 metres above ground level.
The application is also seeking a reduction of five car parking spaces on the statutory rate.

Bus Stop Removal Opposition: Bayside
Bayside Council has called on Transport for New South Wales to reconsider a proposal to remove four bus stops from Rocky Point Road, Sans Souci and Ramsgate.
Bayside Mayor Joe Awada said “Council supports improvements to public transport service, but not when it leaves users stranded, particularly the elderly.
“However, I am not convinced these proposed changes are in the best interests of our community after receiving numerous representations from our residents,” he said.
The bus stop changes on Rocky Point Road before Endeavour Street would include:
removal of the northbound bus stop ID 221924 as there are alternative bus stops within 210m and 220m. Replace with ‘No Stopping’
