COLDSTREAM residents have backed expanding their town for the third time in as many surveys.
Just over 50 per cent of respondents to a recent Yarra Ranges Council survey backed expanding the town, while most also supported preventing further subdivisions. Most of those who backed expanding Coldstream thought it should be done in the paddocks to the west of Maroondah Highway, across the road from the residential area.
Mario Galteri, part of Coldstream 2020, a group pushing to expand Coldstream’s residential boundaries, welcomed the results. “It is the third time that the residents have agreed that Coldstream should be expanded,” he blogged.
About 800 surveys were mailed out and 268 responses received, a rate the council called “very high”. More than three-quarters of responses came from Coldstream residents.
It followed surveys by Coldstream 2020 and Evelyn state Liberal MP Christine Fyffe, which returned similar results.
