Many of Melbourne's local councils and the Planning Institute (PIA) have added to criticism of the State Government's proposed planning zone reforms.
Submissions on the new zone proposals officially closed on Sept. 28 but we suggest you continue to contact your local MP, the planning minister and the premier to complain about the deleterious effects the new proposals will have. For official updates on the new zones, go to the planning dept.website new zone reforms page.
Here are links to submissions and reports from Save Our Suburbs, the Planning Institute of Victoria (PIA) and 12 local councils:
SOS, PIA, Baw Baw, Brimbank, Boroondara, Frankston, Glen Eira, Manningham, Mornington Peninsula (Report and Interim Position Statement), Nillumbik, Stonnington, Whitehorse, Yarra (response and submission) and Yarra Ranges.
