Yarra Ranges Left Out At This Stage!

Amendment VC68

Amendment VC68 expands Melbourne's Urban Growth Boundary, and puts in place Public Acquisition Overlays for the proposed 15,000 hectare native grasslands reserve, the Regional Rail Link and the Outer Metropolitan Ring / E6 Transport Corridor. It implements new planning scheme provisions that address the objectives of Delivering Melbourne's newest sustainable communities.

The Minister for Planning has approved Amendment VC68 and is now seeking parliamentary ratification. The amendment will not become operational until it has been ratified by parliament and subsequently gazetted.

comment:
I can not understand why the Yarra Ranges has been completely overlooked in this amendment.   
Where will our children build their houses?  
Will the Yarra Ranges become an area where the population age average just gets higher? 
Will the Yarra Ranges become an area for retirees as the average age increases?
Will we have enough young people to support our smaller schools?
As you all know by now I support the expansion of the UGB around Coldstream.  

MORE TO COME SOON!
