In late February and early March, Homes Victoria hosted two in person engagement sessions as well as an online survey, noting that "community engagement on this project will be carried out in accordance with Clause 52.20 of the City of Port Phillip planning scheme. Clause 52.20 is a streamlined planning process that facilitates development of new housing through the Victorian Government’s Big Housing Build initiative.
This process removes the standard planning notice and appeals processes. The planning application will be decided by the Minister for Planning."
