Dear friends

If you live in Victoria, can you take 5 minutes to email the Minister for Planning?

Hobsons Bay City Council has shown they will not listen to residents. They held a vote on how to evict us behind closed doors. They have announced a ban on any public questions about Techno Park. They will still not explain why, after 35 years, they are suddenly determined to remove us from our homes.

The psychological toll of the mass eviction is impacting remaining residents at every level of our lives. People are suffering daily from fear and anxiety for their future. People are sleepless and struggling at work. One resident, a disabled First Nations woman, has recently been hospitalised for her mental health: her partner says this is the direct result of living for the past five months in terror that Council will remove them from the home they own.

The Minister for Planning has the power to intervene.

If you live in Victoria, can you take 5 minutes to email the Minister? We’ve put together an email template that you can personalise or just send as is through the link.

If you don’t live in Victoria, you can still help by signing and sharing this petition widely, and connecting with us on Facebook or Instagram.

Thank you so much for your care and solidarity.
