UGB hits families
YOUNG families have been left devastated by the new urban growth boundary as their homes make way for development.
For 55 years Malcolm Hand has owned a farming property that was going to be a legacy to his children.
With the UBG expanding by another 41,000ha this dream has been “stolen”.
Malcolm said his 13,000ha were going to be acquired for grasslands.
Close to 140 properties are within the two proposed 15,000ha grassland reserves at Mount Cottrell and Little River.
