Public lands and open space – inquiry by Upper House

Update: The first report is out. On 2 May 2007, the Legislative Council established a 7 Member all-party select committee to inquire into the use and development of public land and open space in Victoria. For full details go to http://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/council/publicland/ SOS would like to commend the Victorian Legislative Council for creating this Select Committee to inquire into the use and development of public land and open space in Victoria. It is an area that desperately needs Government inquiry, and we hope that the Committee will include many specific recommendations in its final tabled report. Please read the SOS submission. Also read the transcript of SOS President Ian Quick giving evidence at the Committee. Unlike most Planning committees/panels, this is being run as an open and transparent process, with public submissions actually being made public! We encourage members to make submissions!
