‘‘Anti-climb device’’ bid

Channel 7 wants planning permission to install a 16-metre long “anti-climb device” on its rooftop facing Etihad Stadium.

In the planning application, Channel 7 proposes to build a device from fencing material or barbed wire on the edge of the building’s roof by the stadium concourse.

In June, five activists scaled the Channel 7 building to support refugees, raising security concerns. The height of the proposed anti-climb fence is yet to be decided.

Decision on the application remains with the City of Melbourne.
