More On The Expansion of Urban Growth Boundaries

Make a Submission Online

You can do a survey style submission/objection to the Government's proposal to triple the size of Melbourne and apply levies, etc.

This shouldn't take long and could make a big difference to our cause and to your future. Please take a few minutes to lodge an objection.

The proposal connects Bulla to Diggers Rest in suburbia, wiping out Melbourne Airport Overlays, significant vegetation and fauna, etc etc.

Do you want:

• Curfews at Melbourne Airport?
• To have to drive 120km across our city through wall to wall urban sprawl?
• Exponentially greater congestion on our roads and public transport system, in our hospitals, schools, health system?
• No water or electricity in summer?
• No native flora or fauna?
• Clogged sewerage system?
• Higher rates and taxes?
• More expensive food (because we will lose farms and market gardens that currently provide for our city)?
• etc
• etc

Submissions close at 5pm on Friday 17 July 2009
