Upper Stony Creek transformation project

Legislative Council Electronic Petition

The Petition of certain citizens of the State of Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Council the need for compensation for the residents of Brimbank, in particular Sunshine North, for the delayed Stony Creek Revitalisation Project. This includes the proposed changes to housing (medium/high density) in the area. Brimbank is one of the lowest socio-economic areas of Melbourne, with increased levels of diabetes and obesity. It has areas with the least amount of green space in metropolitan Melbourne.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Council call on the Government to allocate additional land contained within the Stony Creek Development adjoining Furlong Road, Western Ring Road and the proposed Methrall Street extension, which are currently assigned for development, back to the community for a much needed Town Park in the area before there is no land left.

 By Mr FINN (Western Metropolitan) (182 signatures).

Laid on table.

Mr FINN: I move:

That the petition be taken into consideration on the next day of meeting.

Motion agreed to.
