Firstly I too did not receive said letter from the 2020 group.
Secondly, I believe much of the land mooted by the group to be part of the urban growth expansion is owned by Mario and Brett. So you fence sit regarding dual occupancy in Coldstream, yet you push hard when it means your land will be able to be subdivided and hence worth a whole lot more?
Regardless, I have been a resident of Coldstream for some 15 years and have seen many changes. I have seen many businesses come and go and I have watched the numbers at the Coldstream Primary dwindle. As someone else mentioned, we are an ageing community. No longer can we walk to the shops to the bakery or doctor or fruit and veg shop.
Maybe it's time to sell up in Coldstream before it self implodes?

In terms of land holdings, these are as follows:
1 land across the estate belongs to a group of investors about 350 acres
2 land behind the houses in Station St belongs to Colin Dolton about 20 acres
3 land on the west side of Maroondah highway is owned by Rod Spurling about 70 acres.
4 land along Killara Rd, about six 10 acre lots owend by six differnt people.

These were chosen so that the Post Office became the centre of Coldstream. There is land around the Post office to expand the shopping precinct, even enough land to put in a retirement village.
Many people have suggested that the "police paddocks" be added as well. We have no objection to this if the community want it.
Brett does not own any land, his father does.
Mario, (me) has a share of the land on the corner of Maroondah Highway and Killara Rd. I have no interest in any other land in our push for the expansion of Coldstream as detailed in Coldstream 2020.

We have never tried to hide these facts.
