With the State Election looming next year, protecting Melbourne's
deserved status as one of the world's most livable cities has
become of great importance, particularly with the implementation
of the State Government’s Melbourne 2030 plan.
- Why are new developments allowed to damage the valued amenity that Melbourne is famous for?
- Where is the certainty which all parties agree that the planning system should provide?
- Where is the comprehensive public transport plan the community has been demanding for years?
- Melbourne 2030 is failing - what should replace it?
