Record Population Growth 23 Million & Counting

Our record population growth is putting real pressure on our infrastructure which is one of the side affects of our immigration policies.

Victoria's economic dependence on building and construction to fuel economic growth relies on bringing in more and more migrants. This is in reality nothing more than a massive Ponzi scheme with Melbourne the fastest growing city bursting at the seams and with overloaded infrastructure.

Both the federal and state governments are having trouble balancing their budgets and cannot raise enough money to build new roads, new railways or upgrade our overall infrastructure to meet our current needs let alone what will be required when our population is doubled within the next 30 to 40 years.

Kevin Rudd was an advocate of a "BIG AUSTRALIA" and it was one of the issues that went against him continuing in office. One of the first announcements by Julia Gillard was to appoint a Minister for Population saying "Australia should not hurtle down the track towards a big population" but nothing has changed.

BRAG's Activity Centres Submission to Boroondara Council

A copy of BRAG's submission to Boroondara Council on it's Activity Centres Strategy is attached- see above.

Residents who live some distance from the identified Activity Centres may consider the Strategy proposals may not affect them but those who live nearby to one of the Centres should take note of the points raised in the submission about the 400 metre convention.
They could face the prospect of a multi-storey apartment block being built next door.
