flag Residents and officials in Point Cook oppose a proposed industrial park on ecologically vital land, citing environmental and safety concerns.

flag Residents and officials in Point Cook, Melbourne, are opposing a proposed industrial park on 27 hectares of undeveloped land containing critically endangered native grasslands and wildlife habitat. flag The project, backed by developer Schiavello, faces strong resistance from Wyndham and Hobsons Bay councils, over 100 residents, and environmental advocates who cite pollution, noise, safety risks, and ecological harm. flag Though the land was previously zoned for industry, opponents argue its current residential character and ecological significance—especially after Point Cook’s population surged from 10,000 to 70,000—make the development inappropriate. flag The state planning tribunal, VCAT, is reviewing the case, with the final decision pending.
