A new development application has been lodged by Stockwell for a 16-storey residential tower at 33 Vulture Street, West End on a site zoned for 8 stories. The proposal includes 132 apartments (none of which will be social or affordable housing) and ground-floor retail spaces.

The West End SS P&C has asked me to organise a meeting with parents/carers to provide an opportunity for families to get informed, ask questions, and most importantly, find out how you can help influence the DA approval process. We’ll discuss how this development aligns with the City Plan, what impacts it could have on nearby residents, West End SS, infrastructure, and liveability more broadly—and how you can make a formal submission as part of the public consultation process.

You can find more information about what is proposed here. Click the link to the "Application Documents", some key documents include "Assessment Report" and "Proposed Plans".

We encourage parents/carers to come along and be part of the discussion. Let’s make sure any changes to our community are shaped by the people who live and work here.

We can arrange remote viewing options for those who wish to attend but are unable to make it in person. If you would like a remote attendance option please send me an email at [email protected].

PS I strongly suggest you wait to make submissions on the DA until the public consultation period opens. Otherwise your submission won't be "properly made" and will not be as effective.
