Development Victoria (DV) is appealing Council’s refusal to grant two planning permits for its proposed Knoxfield development.

In December 2022, Council refused two planning permit applications for DV’s proposed 105-lot residential subdivision and construction of wetlands at the corner of Burwood Highway and Scoresby Road (621 Burwood Highway).

Its proposal included the removal of a dam, often referred to as Lake Knox, after the new wetlands were established. Council received more than 1170 objections in total across both applications to DV’s proposals. Objectors will be notified by DV, outlining what they need to do to become a party to the VCAT appeals.
