Urban redevelopment has always been a challenge for Kew and the surrounding area, due to the opposition from local residents. Attempts have been made to introduce new residential zones to increase the number of occupancies but most if not all have faced public backlash, over of the fear of the loss of heritage and natural amenity. The file includes: Multiple newspaper articles, an invitation to a committee meeting, correspondence between local government officials, a public permit application sent out to the community, a failed planning permit application, a precinct statement, and newsletters from the City of Boroondara.
