 Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) presented a petition bearing 728 signatures:

This petition of residents in Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly the proposed Bright

Valley/Bright Western Gateway Development Plan, and the proposed removal of an unspecified number of

Elm trees, which form an iconic entryway for the Bright township.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly

notes the opposition to the removal of said trees and the historical and tourism significance of said trees; and,

calls on the Government to prevent the removal of any trees, if practicable, in order to preserve the heritage and environment of the western entry into Bright.

Ordered that petition be considered tomorrow.
