– SAVE OUR CITY 
\n– SAVE OUR HERITAGE <\/strong><\/p>\n

Rally – Thursday 25 March, 1 pm;  Steps of Parliament Spring Street <\/strong><\/p>\n

\nVictorians have been enraged and appalled by Planning Minister Madden’s decision
\nto approve the redevelopment of the Windsor Hotel.
\n 
\nThe community has not been given its chance to be properly heard – so come along
\nand let the government know what you think. The Windsor is threatened with a 91m
\ntower addition in a ‘return to facadism’. Development and heritage can and must live
\ntogether however the parliamentary precinct deserves proper protection not
\ndiscretionary height controls.<\/p>\n

We call on the government to work with City of Melbourne to deliver a proper structure plan for the precinct. Discretionary controls in the hand of the Minister are insufficient.
\n 
\nWe need to press home the need for changes to planning process on developments
\nover 25,000m2 – for which the Minister is currently the Responsible Authority. The
\nCity celebrates its 175th birthday this year yet has many significant places that still
\nlack heritage controls – we call on the City of Melbourne to act now.
\n 
\nThe National Trust of Australia (Vic), Planning Backlash and Protectors of Public Lands have
\njoined forces to hold a protest rally.
\n 
\nThursday 25 March, 1 pm;  Steps of Parliament Spring Street <\/strong>
\nTransport: Train to Parliament Station; tram up Collins St. or Bourke St, W Class on City Circle.
\n 
\nBring Banners and Placards!
\nThe weather will be warm so bring hats, sunscreen and water! 
\nAsk your friends and relations to attend. It’s time to put on a show of strength.
