Petitions

Surf Coast planning

Richard RIORDAN (Polwarth) presented a petition bearing 249 signatures:

This petition of residents in Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly the need for Government to work with the Surf Coast Shire Council to find a more appropriate location for the proposed Mind Australia 12 unit development at 26 Silvereye Street Torquay. The Surf Coast Community fully supports local affordable and accessible housing within their community, however the State Government has a responsibility to provide this in the most appropriate location. The Silvereye Street location does not provide adequate safe outdoor space for residents, it has inadequate off-street parking and is in significant conflict with the S173 agreement that all homeowners in the Stretton Estate agreed upon.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly request that the Victorian Government work with Mind Australia and the Surf Coast Shire Council to find a more appropriate location for the 12 unit development.

Ordered that petition be considered tomorrow.
