Stop plans to build a shipping container transfer hub at Little River

The Petition of certain citizens of the state of Victoria draws to the attention of the legislative Council that the Pacific National Ltd is seeking to construct a shipping container transfer hub in a designated green wedge zone, which borders the critically endangered Western Basalt Plains Grasslands, and which will impact nearby Ramsar-listed wetlands.  Green wedges support the health and well-being of all Victorians and action must be taken to protect these areas from inappropriate industrial development proposals. 

The Petitioners therefore request that the legislative Council calls on the Minister for Planning to reject Pacific National's applications to remove native vegetation and to build an intermodal freight terminal at Little River and take further action to protect green wedge areas.
