Brimbank approves three projects

BRIMBANK administrators have approved three more contentious developments as the council’s ‘Home and Housed’ strategy kicks in.

Applications for two dwellings in Whitty Street, Sunshine, and three double-storey dwellings in Hutchinson Street, Albion, were ticked off last week.

Whitty Street received six objections, while Hutchinson Street received 11.

A third application for 97 dwellings at 79 Wright Street, Sunshine, was approved after the council received one objection.

Chairman Peter Lewkinsky said VicRoads approved of a permit at the site and traffic engineers had green-lighted plans for the dwellings. 

The site is set to be changed from an industrial one zone to residential. 

“There is a great need for more housing in Brimbank and making sure there is enough housing for all resident remains a top priority for the council,” Mr Lewinsky said.
