VCAT – Who’s going to face the music?

The VCAT hearing to review key aspects of the Yarra Bend development and the Chandler Highway issue is scheduled for  Jan/Feb 2022 
APMAG understands that the hearing is currently planned to be online. 
While online is the new normal these days, APMAG is finding that – in practice – the way they are currently being conducted means that is it significantly harder to get real community engagement. in the online setting

While we know the community can’t participate in these meetings, we want to attend the hearing.

To that end we’ve been pressing the Council – as a party to the proceedings – to ask for them to be held in person rather than online.
Ultimately, this  is up to VCAT and it is looking very unlikely these hearings will be in person.
