Southern Metropolitan Region
David DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) (13:01): (337) I want to ask the Minister for Planning some questions about the government’s proposed changes to the planning system, and I am very concerned that Southern Metro will be very much at the forefront and in the gun for the government’s planning reforms. Ms Crozier and I understand the importance of heritage protection in our area, so what I am seeking from the minister is an indication, perhaps a document or a list, of heritage protections that will be retained and perhaps enhanced – but I am not sure, given the sense that I am getting – in Southern Metro, specifically through the municipalities of Southern Metro: Boroondara, Stonnington –
Georgie Crozier: The councils have no say.
David DAVIS: That is right – councils having no say. But what heritage protections will be retained, is my simple question, to ensure the character and the livability of our suburbs is protected?
