Matthew GUY (Bulleen) (16:31): Residents in the area of Doncaster South have raised with me a lot of concern around planning scheme amendment GC271, which is going to see more land lost to the North East Link. This project has taken the initiative to go and take council’s open space across a number of council areas – the cities of Yarra, Whitehorse, Boroondara and predominantly Manningham. As I said, this is affecting residents in the suburb of Doncaster South, where a lot of parkland is now going to be lost. This comes within supposedly two years of the completion of this project and completely out of nowhere. No-one from the North East Link Program or the Labor government had ever forecast that Tram Road Reserve and some of the parklands to the north side of the Eastern Freeway beyond the works area would be taken. But at the last minute, 2 minutes to midnight, the Labor government now come out and say, ‘Oh well, actually, we’re going to take not just that parkland, we’re going to take a lot more.’ Very little rationale has been given. I do not know what is going on in the mind of the Labor government. Why do they keep lying or misleading residents in Doncaster and the City of Manningham about open space that is being taken for the North East Link, not giving proper explanations and treating residents and council with contempt? There will be a reckoning for this, and it will come in November.
