"Attacks on our remaining native wildlife habitat have intensified through a number of planning amendments coming from Frankston City Council. In mid 2000 it proposed the C3 planning scheme amendment, which if passed would cut drastic inroads into the south-east metropolitan non-urban corridor (green wedge).

Then a few days before Christmas 2000 it released amendment C7, which would pave the way for urban development at Potts Road, Langwarrin, also in the green wedge. Sizable areas of this land host a rich variety of remnant native vegetation and wildlife habitat, which has been assessed as being of high regional to state significance. We cannot allow this to be bulldozed.

Planning in the Green Wedge area of Frankston municipality should take the opportunity to attract residents and tourists alike by promoting the sustainable coexistence of urban living and the conservation of indigenous flora and fauna."

Amendment C3
Proposal to amend the Frankston Planning Scheme and the Skye and Langwarrin Non Urban Area Local Structure Plan, reducing the minimum subdivision size in non-urban areas from 20 ha to 1 ha or less. The residential boundary would be moved and large tracts of land now in the Green Wedge would be subdivided. This includes several areas with significant remnant native bushland.

Key issues discussed on this site include strategic context, development pressures, general character, native flora and fauna, and the need for a strategic mosaic of native vegetation, including reserves and habitat corridors. These issues need to be addressed to protect the region's present and future environmental and social values

Amendment C7
Proposal to amend Frankston Planning Scheme by rezoning a 100 hectares property at Potts Road, Langwarrin, allowing its subsequent residential subdivision. This land contains high regional to state significant bushland, and is located at a critical point within the South East Green Wedge

Key issues are discussed on this site, and aerial photographs and photos of flora and fauna are provided to support the need to properly address the issues so as to protect present and future environmental and social values.
