Developers in Melbourne’s outer suburbs are facing obstacles in building at least 1000 new homes due to red tape restrictions.
Max Shifman, CEO of Intrapac Property, aims to build homes in Gisborne but is facing resistance from the Macedon Ranges Shire Council, limiting the project to just 64 properties.
The council’s decision has left developers puzzled, as they strive to meet the government’s goal of constructing 800,000 homes in Victoria over the next decade.
Community members argue that infrastructure in small towns like Riddell’s Creek is not equipped to handle the proposed influx of new homes, causing concerns about the impact on the area’s character.
