A meeting of the City of Port Phillip statutory planning committee on 7 February approved the St Kilda Triangle development plan with a number of important changes.
The developer has now made the required changes and the development plan was endorsed on 8 August 2008.

The February Council resolution followed extensive discussions between the council and the developer which resulted in a reduction in retail space and an increase in open space in the proposed St Kilda bayside development.
The decision was made after the council considered the findings of two additional reports commissioned as the result of community consultation:
Key changes to the amended development plan as a result of negotiations between the council, the developer and community groups include:
- A cap on the area of shops to a maximum of 19,000 square metres.
- An increase in the area of open space to a minimum of 18,000 square metres.
The effect of these two changes is a reduction in retail and an increase in open space.
Other key changes include the intention to relocate some building area from the Esplanade to the rear of the Palais into the Nolan building in order to achieve a further improvement in views; a reduction in music venue patrons; and inclusion of a new cultural facility of national significance.

- $20M upgrade of the Palais
- Four new music venues to continue the live entertainment tradition on the site
