most
challenging
issues
of
our
times.
PARLIAMENT WILL BE VOTING ON GOVERNMENT PLAN TO BULLDOZE GREEN WEDGES FOR SUBURBAN SPRAWL - 27July

Green Wedges Coalition
– a vision for Melbourne
Dear Green Wedge supporters,
Please will you help us to avert an environmental and community catastrophe that will ensue if the State Government is able to persuade Parliament to approve a planning scheme amendment to take 43,600 ha out of Melbourne’s green wedges and to surround the new urban growth zones with a freeway that will not be needed when we move to a carbon-constrained economy?
VC67 will irrevocably change the face of Melbourne and axe Green Wedges
Protectors of Public Lands Victoria Inc. has joined with the Green Wedges Coalition Inc. and Planning Backlash to hold a protest SAY NO TO VC67 PLANNING AMENDMENT - STOP URBAN SPRAWL, GREEN WEDGES DESTRUCTION AND HIGH RISE ON TRAM/BUS ROUTES.
It is not exaggerating to say that, if ratified by Parliament, this amendment could signify a catastrophe for Melbourne - the face and fabric of our city will be changed irrevocably forever. We are, therefore, inviting member groups, friends and supporters to our protest
COMMUNITY RALLY TO OPPOSE OVER-DEVELOPMENT IN SUBURBAN STREETS
Saturday 5 June 2010 – 12 noon Queens Park, Mt Alexander Rd,Moonee Ponds

YOUR STREET COULD BE NEXT!
Moonee Valley suburban streets are being targeted by developers for this kind of 3 to 4 storey development.
The Moonee Valley Council is currently considering at least 30 applications like this for ordinary suburban streets. Instead of one household next door, you could soon have more than 27 people in up to 9 households next to you!
