My constituency question is for the Minister for Planning. On 13 July this year the Dandenong Journal reported that Keysborough Golf Club might be moving its course from its 60-year-old home to a new site 2.5 kilometres away. The existing course would then be converted by a property developer, Intrapac, into a massive new housing estate. The difficulty is that the existing golf course is located within the green wedge, so the whole deal hinges on the state government rezoning the existing course for residential housing. What is the minister's attitude to removing 76 hectares from the green wedge so that a property developer can make a killing?
