Save Williamstown Campaign Seeks Alternative Ideas for Port Phillip Woollen Mills Site

The Save Williamstown campaign has established a Planning Policy subcommittee to draft the campaign's official response to the C75 amendment application lodged by Nelson Place Village Pty Ltd.

This subcommittee is seeking alternative visions for the Port Phillip Woollen Mills site to include in the campaign's official response. These concepts for the site should be consistent with Williamstown's unique local character and heritage. The ideas should not threaten ongoing work at the shipyards, and should aim to create new jobs.

One of the positive aspects of the Save Williamstown campaign has been the number of local residents who have vibrant and creative ideas about what to do with the Port Phillip Woollen Mills site. The range and quality of these initial ideas stands in stark contrast to the developer's tired and unimaginative concept drawings, which are a dated example of top-down development.

We want to make sure that local voices are heard in the planning process. Through seeking suggestions from the community, the Save Willliamstown campaign aims to demonstrate the value of that local input which Nelson Place Village Pty Ltd has so blatantly ignored to date.
