YOU COULD GET A MULTI-STOREY APARTMENT COMPLEX NEXT DOOR & YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO DO A THING ABOUT IT !                  

 

• Premier Brumby has announced he is by-passing planning laws to bulldoze our suburbs so he can fast track the building of hundreds of apartment complexes and school extensions without the need for council permits.

 

• He has already moved to take away resident’s rights to

object or appeal against such projects.

 

• This follows his proposal for new residential zones which will effectively change our low scale suburban areas into blocks of three or four or more storeys of apartment complexes.
• He is appointing unelected and unaccountable Development Assessment Committees to take over planning from our councils in Activity Centres to ensure that apartment towers will be built in these centres.

 

• Victoria’s Planning Act is to be reviewed which will formalize these government edicts including property acquisition.

 

• And what’s even worse, Planning Minister Madden is to be entrusted with greater planning powers to “call in” projects or over-ride councils to push high-rise development into the suburbs.

Can he be trusted with these powers? After all he is the Minister who knew nothing about branch stacking and

corrupt practices at Brimbank managed from his own

electoral office.     We don’t think so.

 

If you don’t come to the protest they will think you don’t care
