'PLANNING BACKLASH' DEMO, PARLIAMENT HOUSE, 1PM WEDNESDAY 3RD MAY 2006
Call to arms to Melbourne Resident Groups against State Govt planning policies & Melbourne 2030
Following a meeting called by BRAG in April of Resident Action Groups across Melbourne and Victoria, a working group was formed and a rally organised to launch a Victoria wide 'Planning Backlash' against the State Government's planning policies and Melbourne 2030.
Resident Groups are asked to meet on the steps of Parliament House on Wednesday 3rd May at 12:30pm, and to bring at least 10 people to the meeting.
Conveners are calling on Residents Groups to use their democratic right to demand the Government stops overcrowding our neighbourhoods with inappropriate development, overstretching our infrastructure, further polluting the air we breathe, giving our open spaces to developers and taking planning power from our Councils (and us). Premier Bracks will be invited to speak to the rally and be presented with a list of demands on behalf of all of the resident groups.
