Melbourne Residents Protest 500-Home Development Near Pokie Pubs
Update: 2026-01-03
Description
Residents in Melbournes Cairnlea are protesting a planned 500-home development near two pokie pubs, fearing it will create a dormitory suburb with no community amenities. Despite promises of green spaces and affordable housing, locals argue that without shops, parks, or real community spots, the development will lead to increased gambling and social issues. The draft plan is now with Planning Minister Sonya Kilkenny, who took office in June 2025 to expedite the process. Campaigners demand more community input and better facilities to make the area truly livable.
