The Voice of Mill Park: Development Debates, Traffic Truths, and Community Action

In this week’s episode of The Voice of Mill Park, I share an on-the-ground update about the proposed high‑density development at 25 Oleander Drive and why I’m sceptical it will proceed in the current market. I also have a good old-fashioned traffic rant about the Plenty Road/Childs Road bottleneck, blocked intersections, buses stopping short, and those out‑of‑sequence lights near the M80 underpass—along with a plea for everyone to keep intersections clear during peak hour.Closer to home, I touch on SPC’s planned exit from Mill Park and what that could mean for local jobs and businesses, plus my plan to do some “man on the street” chats. I’ve kicked off a petition to get toilets and rubbish bins installed at Telopea Reserve near Plenty Parklands Primary—listen in for how to add your name before the 17 March council meeting. I also flag current City of Whittlesea consultations for Findon Park Recreation Reserve, a local café for sale, and community events at the library and beyond. As always, send your events to [email protected] so we can share them with the neighbourhood.---------------------------SPC Global reshapes manufacturing network to unlock $8 millionPLENTY RD x CHILDS RD INTERSECTIONFindon Recreation Reserve Landscape Improvement PlanCafe In Mill Park For Sale
