Local residents were shocked to hear about plans for a 19-storey tower on the Pentridge site. Then people started to find out about the extent of heritage that has been destroyed and other high-rise towers being planned. Join other community members to discuss what we can do to stop further destruction of heritage and loss of amenity. Speakers: Michael Buxton (RMIT professor of planning), Michael Hamel-Green (emeritus professor), Kelvin Thomson (federal member for Wills), Felicity Watson (National Trust), Chris Turner (Pentridge precinct resident). Facilitated by Sue Bolton (Moreland councillor). 7pm. Uniting Church Hall, 21 Victoria St, Coburg (opposite Coburg Library). Public meeting initiated by Save Coburg Residents Network.
