Sarah MANSFIELD (Western Victoria) (12:46): (1839) My constituency question is for the Minister for Planning. Constituents in the Surf Coast shire are seeking an update on a formal rezoning approval of land in Spring Creek Valley. Completion of the Surf Coast Statement of Planning Policy includes a rezoning of land west of Duffields Road from an urban growth zone to what the community hopes will become a rural conservation zone. This rezoning represents a huge step in a 17-year-long community campaign to place important conservation overlays on land where there is ecological significance, as identified in the area’s distinctive area landscape, or DAL, status. Minister, has the Victorian Planning Authority commenced its work to complete this rezoning in Spring Creek Valley?
