Metro Strategy - A defence by the author

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.

When I grew up in Australia...

The following is just how it was when I grew up in Australia...

In 1968 we had a population of around 12 million. Under the Liberal Government at the time and the Australian dollar was worth $ 1.25 US.

Majority Against High Population Growth

The two items below emphasise the point that while the business community still favors high population growth, the Australian public (including even the relatively "New Class" audience of Radio National) is now increasingly against it.

1.  SPA member Dally Messenger has placed a reply in Business Spectator, chiding the editor Alan Kohler for his pro-population-growth take on last week's debate at the DAVOS "Future Summit":

Orwellian manipulation at its worst.

Hi SOS Members
 
I have just returned today from being an invited  panel participant in an elaborate Council run "consultation" of the Warringah community on the residential planning of that area.  I had been invited to provide an alternative viewpoint to that of developers and planners.
 
640 delegates were registered to attend, of whom 500 had been selected from the community.  They were told that the State Government has decreed that 10,300 new dwellings have to go into the council area.  It is up to Warringah Council to determine how this is to be done and the consultation was to help the Council ascertain what the community feels about various possibilities.

Population: The Big Issue

Treasury's most recent Intergenerational Report anticipates that Australia's population will reach 36 million by 2050. Melbourne is Australia's fastest growing city, and on track to overtake Sydney, its population almost doubling to between 7 and 8 million people by mid century. So Melbourne is an appropriate place to debate the pros and cons of rapid population growth.

This is an edited broadcast of a public forum held at Melbourne's Federation Square on April 22 2010. The event was organised by the City of Melbourne as part of its free Melbourne Conversations program and supported by Future Leaders.
