Yarra River Action
Alliance (posted 4 Jun 10)
The Yarra River Action Alliance have come together out of
concern for the major development that is occurring on and around
the river in the City of Yarra. The Alliance is
rapidly growing in size as other people and groups emerge
with similar issues and concerns.
The Yarra River Action Alliance appreciate the need for urban
growth in order to meet the future needs of metropolitan
Melbourne, but the land on the Yarra River is a precious and finite
resource, and we are against any inappropriate or irresponsible
development on its banks. The river is our heritage and we need to
preserve it for future generations. A video is available on
the Vimeo website (register to view videos) http://www.vimeo.com/11110109 .

PPL VIC and Yarra River Action
Alliance are appealing at VCAT. As legal costs are
astronomical (the case will go for a week or so
altogether ) we are mounting an appeal for assistance.
Donations can be made by direct payment to a specially
designated MECU bank account - Protectors of Public
Lands Victoria Inc. Fighting Fund BSB 803 140 Account
No 12012290. For enquiries ring MECU on 132888. Or send
to PPL VIC PO Box 197 Parkville 3052 with details of name and
address. We need this as at the end of the case if we have a
balance of funds we can refund donors. Website at
