Stop 'land grab'
REJECT the State Government's proposed extension of the
urban growth boundaries. This was the call made to MPs at Tuesday's rally outside Parliament House, attended by about 300 people.
Land owners group Taxed Out organised the rally against the UGB and growth areas infrastructure contribution proposals announced earlier this month by Planning Minister Justin Madden.
Members of Green Wedges Coalition, Protectors of Public Lands and the Planning Backlash attended the rally.
The GWC has made it clear it does not support an extension to Melbourne's UGB.
The UGB extension will result in significant changes to the existing boundaries in Hume, including Sunbury and a small part within Diggers Rest.
The GWC accused Mr Madden of going back on his assurances.
