MORE than 500 submissions have opposed a change to the current territory plan that could see a Griffith property rezoned to allow for medium-density units.
Part of the government’s Demonstration Housing Project, an initiative designed to help urban renewal, it would involve bulldozing a home on Blaxland Street to make way for a two-storey, four-unit âManor Houseâ with nine car park spaces.
It also requires a variation to the RZ1 criteria to allow for medium-density units on a residential block.
Written comments about the draft variation were invited until April 26 and out of the 526 comments only five of them supported what the government is proposing. Â

THE introduction of urban 40km/h speed limits have failed to fine a single driver for breaking the new local road laws.
Government were swift to slow cars down entering the business precincts of Tuggeranong and Braddon, extending to the City section of traffic for five blocks on Northbourne Avenue.
“These 40km/h areas are clearly marked with signage and they will be enforced in the city, Braddon and Tuggeranong from today,” Mr Steel said on March 24, suggesting a crackdown was imminent.
Areas also targeted included city sections of Barry Drive and Cooyong Street after variable message signs were installed to warn motorists prior to limits dropping from 60km/h.
