ROYAL PARK PROTECTION GROUP INC 2009 AGM

GUEST SPEAKER: 

KELVIN THOMSON MHR FEDERAL MEMBER FOR WILLS

Here is a date for your diaries.

The Royal Park Protection Group Inc gives notice of the 2009 Annual General Meeting which will be of interest given the special guest speaker.  Here are the details:

Time: 7:15 pm for 7:30 pm.

Date: Wednesday 11 November 2009.

Venue: Meeting Room 1 North Melbourne Library  66 Errol Street, North Melbourne next to the Town Hall and Post Office near the corner of Errol and Queensberry St. (Parking usually available in surrounding streets.) Tram No 57 from Elizabeth St. travels along Errol St.

Guest Speaker: Mr. Kelvin Thomson MHR Federal Member for Wills. He will speak on the following topic: "Melbourne's skyrocketing population and its implications for our environment and our way of life". Kelvin would like a show of support as he is the sole voice in Government speaking up for sustainable population; opposing the expansion of the Urban Growth Boundary with the prospect of urban sprawl and destruction of Green Wedges plus imposition of the Growth Areas Infrastructure Contribution (GAIC) - a grossly unfair land tax - plus fast tracking of freeways and road tunnels. Royal Park is still under threat from the extension of the Eastern Freeway in a road tunnel or open cut freeway.

Election of Executive Committee: Proceedings will include election of the executive committee for 2010 and reconfirm the focus of the Group for 2010.

Supper: Stay to supper and meet our celebrity guest, catch up with other members and representatives of other community groups.
