We must preserve the Green Wedge on the Mornington Peninsula for the long term, especially with so many people calling the Peninsula home due to our lifestyle and liveability.
In the long term, if we pursue a Regional status and rescind our Metropolitan status, then we will see the loss of the Green Wedge and an increasingly developed and unrecognisable Mornington Peninsula.
Our Green Wedge has been critical to the preservation of the Mornington Peninsula for the last 40 years. It will continue to be our best defence against us becoming overdeveloped in the long term.
