Ballarat East substation

Joe McCRACKEN (Western Victoria) presented a petition bearing 2004 signatures:

The petition of certain citizens of the State of Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Council the planned building of a major electrical substation by Powercor at 203 York Street, Ballarat East.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Council call on the Government to intervene and halt the planned building of a major electrical substation by Powercor in Ballarat East as it is closely surrounded by residences and request that the land be rezoned.

Joe McCRACKEN: As this petition qualifies for debate under the standing orders, I give notice that I intend to move ‘That the petition be taken into consideration’ on Wednesday of next sitting week.
