Greater Dandenong Council has stated it will not “impose itself” in response to safety concerns over the controversial siting of townhouses in Keysborough.
The council approved an amended permit for Keysborough Townhouses estate at 452 Cheltenham Road, with its western townhouses being built about a metre from a truck access road to HomeCo shopping centre.
Residents raised alarm about the lack of space for a footpath along the access road to the HomeCo shopping centre, child-care centre and Cheltenham Road bus stop.
The estate’s corner property Lot 1 stands just a metre from the corner kerb.
At a 28 June council meeting public question time, Keysborough resident Heather Louis said it was a “potential disaster waiting to happen”.
Dr. David Church: Thank You Los Alamos!
By DAVID R. CHURCH, MD
Thank you Los Alamos and those of you who have come from further north. It is with much sadness that I have chosen to retire from the practice of medicine.
I have been in practice for 43 years now. As a patient suggested to me recently when told of my years of service to patients, I should retire and join a museum. That must be due to my extraordinary artistic ability to draw a complete health plan on the back of a prescription pad!
Thank you for allowing me the privilege of participating in your health care.
