Historical information

Regarding the proposed rezoning and development of Fortuna Villa in Greater Bendigo; six submissions were received about the rezoning proposal: four in support, and two objections.

One objection was later withdrawn, leaving one outstanding objection.

The owner, Paul Banks, has proposed future outdoor concerts and other developments at the historic Fortuna Villa site.

Main concerns include noise from events, potential residential development, traffic impacts, and protection of heritage values. Six residents signed one of the submissions highlighting these issues. The City of Greater Bendigo notes that development restrictions and impact assessment reports will ensure each development is considered individually. Any outdoor events must comply with the council's planning scheme and Environment Protection Authority requirements.

The proposal is scheduled for a council vote on Wednesday night.
