Aspendale Gardens News Winter 2021

Woolworths Shopping Centre granted a permit  
After gauging residents opinion,  AGRA  opposed the development of a new shopping centre at Wells Road and Springvale Road due to the detrimental effect on the Aspendale Gardens Shopping Centre. VCAT has determined to grant a permit.  While a number of objections points were confirmed as accurate including that Ritchies IGA store was a full line supermarket, meaning it was capable of accommodating a weekly shop, the Tribunal concluded that the proposal would not lead to the closure of the store and therefore considered the impact not to be unreasonable.  The Tribunal thought that a screen and removing some gaming signage would address the gaming issue of a supermarket being built next to a gaming facility (it is against the law to place a gaming facility next to a supermarket but this is the other way around)
