VCAT, citing the Victorian government's Melbourne 2030 planning policy has approved a 10 storey residential development which could threaten Bridge Road's heritage despite strong opposition from the local mayor of the City of Yarra.
The site at 234 Bridge Road, near the corner of Church Street is in a heritage overlay.

The Bridge Road strip has seen the demolition of several heritage commercial buildings in recent months to make way for new retail showrooms.
It will be much taller than nearby Epworth hospital and second only in height to the nearby hi-rise housing commission towers. It will be completely out of context adjacent to heritage buildings and could set a precedent for the Bridge Road area.
