Golf course development plans slammed by opposition

THE state opposition has pledged to kill AustralianSuper’s hopes of developing on a Dingley Village golf course if it wins this year’s state election.

AustralianSuper owns the former Kingswood golf course site in Dingley Village. It is hoping to gain approval to subdivide the land into 823 lots to build dwellings with a maximum height of three stories.

A report on the proposal was handed to the planning minister in March (“Golf course report handed to planning minister” The News 6/4/22). A final decision has not been handed down yet.

Earlier this month Liberal candidate for Clarinda Anthony Richardson said that his party would reject the plan in its current form.

“The Liberals and Nationals oppose the current planning proposal from AustralianSuper and will act to refuse it should Labor fail to make a decision on it prior to the state election,” Richardson said. “If approved by the Andrews Labor government, this development will attract 20 per cent more residents to the area, will result in a significant loss of green space, increase the risk of flooding, increase traffic congestion and will overwhelm limited local infrastructure. To put the scale of green space loss into perspective, it is the equivalent of building over 20 MCG’s.  We call on the new minister for planning to refuse the current planning proposal from AustralianSuper to build 823 units on the Kingswood Golf Club site.”

The future of the Dingley Village site has been in limbo for years, with Kingston Council first abandoning the planning scheme amendment for the project in 2018. Previous plans for the site sparked community fury, with more than 8000 submissions sent to council predominately opposing the proposal (“New plans for golf course redevelopment” The News 30/6/21).

Newly appointed planning minister Lizzie Blandthorpe was asked for an update on the Dingley Village application. She did not respond by publication deadline.
