Marvellous Melbourne Marvellous Melbourne

protecting city, country and coast

marvellousmelbourne.org has been created by a group of volunteers to celebrate the best of Melbourne and to encourage people to be informed and get involved.

There are many possibilities for Melbourne's future. There are many people concerned that government is using challenges from climate change to mask it's addiction to growth.

There are many groups in the city, country and coast whose needs are being ignored and who are trying to alert the community to the dangers of a planning dictatorship elected only every few years that stays on top by playing one community against another.

These groups have come together as www.planningbacklash.org.au

marvellousmelbourne.org is only one of the many suppoters this "umbrella"organisation, but has offered to "host"it's web page.

marvellousmelbourne.org receives no funds from government or political parties and has created and maintained this site on a budget of less than $300. There have been no supporter funds wasted on tarting up the message ! (as we see with so many of our tax dollars !).

It operates only through the generosity of its supporters and members - potentially YOU !

-:- Is development the same as progress ?
-:- What makes the difference ?
-:- Is growth sustainable ?
-:- Is there any such thing as "big enough"?
-:- What do we want to sustain ?
-:- Are elected governments just dictatorships between elections ?
-:- Planning is off the rails in Melbourne. What is happening in the country and on the coast ?

This site is for you. It is an attempt to celebrate the best of Melbourne - and to encourage you to explore what was, what is, and what could be.

Making the future of our city better - one click at a time.
