Both these things cannot happen, or not without a lot of people getting bruised:
MELBOURNE’S urban-growth boundary will not be moved again ‘’in my lifetime’’, state Planning Minister Justin Madden has predicted.
As the Government prepares to introduce legislation within weeks for the controversial addition of 41,000 hectares to the urban area, Mr Madden has told The Age that further outward expansion should not be necessary for decades to come.
And:
A State Government report predicts that by 2036, Victoria will grow by 2.3 million people, with 1.8 million extra people in metropolitan Melbourne ...
Madden’s green blinkers is precisely the kind of thing that has left Melbourne already critically short of water, having added a million inhabitants in the 26 years since it last dared to build a dam.
