The fate of a controversial proposed apartment tower in Brunswick is hanging in the balance, with the developer expected to reveal its next step on Monday.

A pitch for a 12-storey block was deemed too tall by the state planning tribunal earlier this year, amid worries about overshadowing of popular Princes Park.

Moreland City Council rejected the amended plans for a 10-storey project at 699 Park Street, on the corner of bustling Sydney Road, late last month in a decision welcomed by some locals.

Protect Park Street Precinct spokeswoman Christine Christian said she hoped the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal would now reject the plans completely.

“We’re feeling very confident, we’ve invested significant resources and our response is based on expert advice,” she said. “It would be an absolute travesty if what is being proposed is being erected on this sensitive heritage site.”
