Roz Hansen, author of the Metro Strategy defending her position.
Most of us have made it crystal clear that we don't agree with her vision for Melbourne and now we have to make sure that we are listened to. We will get another chance to comment on the next round, but we want to make sure that the next document has changed according to our wishes.

Premier shifts tack on donations
IF A week is a long time in politics, a decade is enough for a big change of heart. That appears to be the case for Premier John Brumby.
This week, responding to The Age series investigating corporate donations in Victoria, Mr Brumby dismissed concerns about the Government being influenced by the corporate dollars pouring into ALP coffers.

This has been such an inspiring assembly. Mostly, on this crucial topic we‘re regularly blinded by smoke and mirrors, or manipulated by goats and monkeys. Over the past five years I’ve learnt being an activist is predominantly Frustration, Anger and Despair.
Frustration – is anyone actually listening? The media never really seems to be up to our speed. It seems The Age won’t print a letter. We’re depicted as faceless - or a celebrity novelty…or worse… NIMBYs….and yet I’ve never encountered such an articulate group with less selfish motives.

Political donations linked to developers, contractors
CORPORATE donors to the Victorian Labor Party are almost invariably companies with lucrative public contracts or development, gaming or alcohol interests at the mercy of Government discretion.
An investigation by The Age has also revealed a correlation in the timing of developer donations and key planning decisions. These projects include the $600 million Martha Cove marina at Safety Beach, the redevelopment of the Lombard paper warehouse in Flemington, and the $650 million Burwood Heights residential and commercial precinct.

Growth areas link to violence

A LACK of services and planning in some Melbourne growth corridors has created the "perfect storm" for violence, academics and police say.
