Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has expressed significant disappointment in a VCAT decision to allow a large-scale aged care facility in Mount Eliza, outside of the urban growth boundary.
The Council has previously rejected the proposal and has unsuccessfully sought state government intervention.
It is now asking the planning minister to urgently approve a planning scheme amendment to prevent further parcels of land within the Green Wedge from “inappropriately developed”.
The Council has decided against an appeal to the Supreme Court, and will focus on advocacy to the state government expressing disappointment at the outcome and the timing of the VCAT decision.
