Rezone refused to protect 11Ha grassland

MELTON councillors have slammed the Department of Sustainability and Environment's objection to the council's proposal to rezone the Truganina precinct.
The DSE has refused the C65 amendment, which would rezone the rural land to industrial, because of significant native vegetation on one of the properties. The department has requested that 11hectares of grasslands on a 77-hectare property be retained and that a native vegetation precinct plan be prepared.
