VCAT to Decide on Fate of Oakleigh Motel
THE VICTORIAN Civil and Administrative Tribunal has heard submissions, and is expected to make an announcement within weeks about a controversial apartment and townhouse development behind Victoria’s oldest motel.
The 53-year old Oakleigh Motel – an American Googie styled guest house built on what was then the outskirts of Melbourne, will be retained as part of the proposed redevelopment. But buildings and land around the distinctive 1650 Dandenong Road property will be redeveloped into 54 dwellings, if the developer gets its way.
