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.

It would appear that the Consultation Draft is anti the natural environment, pro developer and Melbourne centric. The end result of the failure to adopt many of the proposals offered that would protect and enhance the biodiversity values within the urban landscape will be to eliminate most if not all of the natural environment from such areas. As a result the Draft if implemented will produce a significant reduction in the liveability and the environmental sustainability of Victoria.

It is with a disturbing degree of cynicism that we read the latest proposal regarding further development of Melbourne through the imposition of New Residential Zones. We are further disturbed to note that you consider that members of the public "were unclear about what changes would mean for their neighbourhood." Let us assure you that members of MEG and the groups in the Planning Backlash Network are acutely aware of the implications of NRZ...and we deplore them.

Once again the community is presented with a ‘fait accompli’ – a done deal!
History will judge and hold this State Government responsible for removal of our democratic rights and what amounts to the end of our ‘liveable city.’
The Nillumbik Rate Payers Association (NRA) opposes the Consultation Draft New Residential Zones and requests they be abandoned.

Submission re New Residential Zones by City of Greater Bendigo
Tagged:
Summary/Purpose
The Minister for Planning, Justin Madden MLC, is proposing to replace three of the existing
residential zones in the Victoria Planning Provisions; Residential 1, 2 and 3, with three new
residential zones. The objective of the change is to enable the provision of housing needs to
be more responsive to current needs, and to strengthen implementation of local policies and
strategies. The new zones are currently called Substantial Change Zone, Incremental
Change Zone and Limited Change Zone.
In February last year the Minister released a Discussion Paper about the proposed new
residential zones that was designed to enable ideas to be put forward to inform the
development of the new zones. Submissions to the Discussion Paper were invited. A
Consultation Draft has now been prepared that contains specific details for the three
proposed new zones.
