One of the most effective ways to influence local development is to submit formal objections to inappropriate development applications.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Find the application: Check your local council’s website for current development applications
2. Review the details: Read the plans and understand what’s being proposed
3. Identify issues: Consider impacts on traffic, environment, community character, and infrastructure
4. Write your objection: Be specific, factual, and reference planning policies
5. Submit on time: Objections must be received before the deadline

Remember, every objection counts. Your voice can make a difference in protecting our community.

We’re excited to launch our new website to keep our community informed and connected in our efforts to protect Springvale.

This site will serve as a central hub for:

• Updates on local development applications
• Information about council meetings and decisions
• Ways to get involved and make your voice heard
• Community events and meetings

Together, we can ensure that development in our area is responsible and preserves what makes Springvale special.
