KEON PARK UPDATE — below are the issues people have raised regarding the Johnson Street social housing development: — the potential parking implications, including the likelihood of adding to parking pressures around Johnson Street; — the related issues of council parking enforcement and the difficulty of accessing the northern and southern station carparks from Johnson Street; — the potential impact on pedestrian safety and traffic congestion, especially at the intersection of Johnson Street and Keon Parade; — the apartment mix, particularly the proportion of one-bedroom apartments; — the lack of private apartments or a mixed-tenure approach; — the liveability of some apartment layouts; — the adequacy of facilities and spaces for children; — the adequacy of the communal space; — the potential community safety and security issues; — the support services that will be provided and their alignment with resident needs; — the level of canopy cover and deep soil; — the resilience to climate change; — the energy efficiency; — the need for an all-electric design; — the need for a local greengrocer or fresh food retailer in Keon Park, and the potential for the ground-floor tenancy to serve that purpose; — the general scale of the project; — the design; — the overlooking and overshadowing of nearby properties; — the outsourcing of subsidised housing to non-government entities; and — the importance of developer contributions. Our understanding of the decision-making process is that Homes Victoria and Hallmarc will consider the feedback and submit their proposal to the Department of Transport and Planning. The community housing arrangements will be finalised with NAHV, Homes Victoria and Housing Australia. While the project is mainly federally funded, the Victorian Minister for Public Transport, the Treasurer and the Minister for Planning will need to provide approvals. We will raise the feedback points with all relevant ministers.
