What are the immediate consequences of Banyule City Council's rejection of the Rosanna apartment building proposal, and how does this impact Victoria's housing crisis?

Melbourne's first fast-tracked apartment building project under the state government's Future Homes program has been rejected by Banyule City Council, despite state approval. This rejection, impacting a 17-unit development, challenges the program's effectiveness and angers housing advocates, who see it as hindering housing solutions. The council cited unmet objectives like insufficient consideration of neighboring properties and insufficient sustainable design elements.
