SEE BANCO'S NEW PLANS TO SUPERSIZE SMITH STREET - MINISTERIAL PANEL TO DECIDE!
In 2004 1500 said NO to Banco, in 2005 Yarra refused their plans so Banco appealed to VCAT, in August 2005 Planning Minister Hulls called in Banco's plans and referred them and Yarra's new Smith Street interim structure plan to a Priority Development Panel for advice. But the Panel just wants to 'tweak' Banco's new plans which feature:
- 3 high-rise towers of 5, 7 and 8 storeys on Smith St
- These 3 towers = 7, 9 and 10 storeys on Little Oxford St
- 410 car parks on 3 levels – accessed via Little Oxford St
- Multi-level shopping mall with 24 hour supermarket
- 157 apartments
- Demolish half a block and destroy heritage buildings.

Banco's new plans are still an ambit claim, they have made no effort to address community and expert concerns - compare 2004 and 2005 plans.
