Catchments & Towers
won’t deliver affordable housing
Boroondara Community Group is a grassroots resident advocacy group challenging the Victorian Government’s planning changes. We support housing growth in Boroondara including a greater diversity of homes, homes that are affordable, homes that are well planned, climate resilient, retain the amenity, tree canopy, local character, heritage and liveability that define our neighbourhoods, and are matched by necessary infrastructure upgrades.

Restart

Bulldozing Melbourne
The Government’s plan – a city of apartments. Not just in activity centres and their walkable catchments but anywhere housing is allowed. Liveability sacrificed by lowered building standards. Decisions made behind closed doors. Affordable housing and infrastructure promises without proof. Who benefits?
