National Trust of Australia (Victoria) and Royal Historical Society of Victoria issue joint statement on Victorian Planning
We publish the joint statement here. Unfortunately these two bodies, in our opinion, whilst obviously well-meaning, have entirely neglected the demand side of the equation. They are comforting the property developers' agenda of densification when they should be pointing out that this is an abuse of power that depends on a false narrative confining all discussion to the 'supply' side. It is good that they have identified the divisive rhetoric of YIMBY versus NIMBY, but it is bad that they have comforted the authoritarian dictate that nothing shall be said about demand.
