Southern Metropolitan Region

David DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) (12:54): (909) My matter is for the attention of the Minister for Transport Infrastructure and concerns the Suburban Rail Loop and the ongoing issues with the Suburban Rail Loop and some of the planning around the Suburban Rail Loop. We have discovered today in the paper and elsewhere that the City of Monash has essentially been bullied into agreeing to a large area of the municipality having six-storey buildings. This has not been the case – and I make the point that these areas that are in question are in my electorate in Clayton, Monash University and Glen Waverley – and I ask the minister: will the minister reconsider the attitude towards the City of Monash, reconsider the bullying approach, reconsider the decision to forcibly take over planning powers – (Time expired)
