Southern Metropolitan Region
David DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) (12:48): (1819) What I want the Minister for Planning to do is to release the plans that she is proposing for high-density, high-rise development in many other areas of Southern Metro, specifically the areas that have not been released. The government has designated a whole series of centres across Southern Metro. They did not consult properly, I might say, on the early changes, they did not consult properly on the planning amendments and they did not consult properly on the maps that have been released today. What the maps show – they are chilling – is massive high-rise development in huge swathes across our suburbs. This will see loss of vegetation. It will see loss of heritage and loss of livability. This is an assault on our suburbs by Jacinta Allan. It is a nasty assault, and the loss of amenity in our areas in Southern Metro will be shocking.
