However, Taras Kontek, the chairman of the Mansion Apartments owners’ corporation, said the Junction Oval proposal was different because high-rises were close to the venue and light towers would loom over them. “I could throw a marble from my balcony and it would hit the roof of the CitiPower Centre. It’s not set back in a park precinct,” he said. “The increased light pollution will definitely impact everyone’s liveability. We also don’t understand just how often these are going to be used.” Kontek said other body corporates nearby were also surprised to learn of Cricket Victoria’s plans.
