Bentleigh East Housing Row Escalates | Melbourne News
Description
A housing row is heating up in Melbourne’s southeast as developer SEMZ seeks to slash its East Village project from 3,000 homes to just 1,800–2,400 — a move the council fears could derail state housing targets. While SEMZ claims the changes boost retail and investment, Mayor Simone Zmood accuses them of gaming the state’s fast-track program to build fewer units. With this site being one of the last large undeveloped areas in Glen Eira, the mayor is demanding an urgent meeting with the Planning Minister to protect Victoria’s housing growth strategy — and questions whether the state’s development facilitation program is actually helping or hindering progress.
