(2) Yes. The majority of the subject area is currently the subject of Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) Amendment No. 992/33 Clarkson-Butler. (3) I now table the following list of recent publications on the subject land. (4) The EPA has assessed MRS Amendment No. 992/33 of which one of the proposals is to rezone the northern portion of the land for urban purposes. Any further proposals to rezone the remainder of the land to urban purposes will require referral to the EPA for consideration. (5) Regionally significant vegetation, possible fauna conservation and landform values.
