Mildura electorate
Ms CUPPER (Mildura) (11:58): (1884) My constituency question is for the Minister for Planning. The information I seek is the time line for the review of the Mildura Older Irrigation Area Incorporated Document, otherwise known as the MOIA. Last year I raised with the minister and this house the challenges that the MOIA is presenting to the community of Sunraysia. There are many constituents who purchased land across Sunraysia with the intention of building their dream home but who were subsequently prevented from doing so due to some of the more restrictive elements of the incorporated document. Many of these landholders purchased their land before the incorporated document was finalised, and in most cases that land is completely unviable for agricultural purposes due to the size of the land and the removal of irrigation infrastructure. The implementation of the MOIA document has reduced land values, in some cases by tens of thousands of dollars, and has held back economic development for our local building industry. We look forward to receiving this information as requested.
