Tell Labor and Liberal MPs to listen to the community

The controversial Growth Area Infrastructure Contribution (GAIC) was passed in Parliament on 26 May.

Remaining true to their word, Greens MPs voted against the flat tax and the urban growth boundary extension. 

The Liberal/National party MPs backflipped to join with Labor, charging landholders in the extended urban growth boundary (UGB) area a flat $95,000 per hectare charge on the sale of their land.

The only hope to prevent current landholders being charged the GAIC now rests with the planning scheme amendment that would allow an extension of Melbourne's urban growth boundaries; VC67.

The Greens remain strong in opposition to the UGB extension and hope to gain support from other MPs in Victoria's upper house to ensure Melbourne's metropolitan boundary stays where it is currently drawn.

The Greens will move for the amendment to be referred to a Parliament Select Committee, to listen to the views of the public and consider the impact of the UGB.
