By Cam Lucadou-Wells The state’s planning tribunal has ruled a “bulky” three-storey apartment block doesn’t suit the northern “edge” of central Dandenong. The developer WCL Development Pty Ltd appealed to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal after Greater Dandenong Council rejected its plans on the vacant 804-square-metre block at 66 Herbert Street. VCAT senior member Bill Sibonis ruled on 29 April that the proposal’s “robust” mass was inappropriate at the “edge of a substantial change area”. “The development does not represent an acceptable neighbourhood character outcome.” There was no dispute that increased density housing of up to four storeys was permitted in the Residential Growth Zone 2, Mr Sibonis stated.
