I have just signed the petition entitled Victorian Planning Controls and thought you would be interested in adding your support. To read about the petition and to sign it just visit http://www.petitionthem....sp?sect=detail&pet=2706 There is also a forum where you can talk about this petition and of course many other worthy petitions that need your support. Overview of this petition: - Recent changes to Victorian planning controls now prohibit a "Motor Racing Track" statewide in new rural zones. The definition of a Motor Racing Track in the planning documents is as follows-

"Land used to race, rally, scramble, or test, vehicles, including go-karts, motor boats, and motorcycles, and includes other competitive motor sports."

This new law prevents any legally conducted events including rally, enduro, mototrials, grasstrack, tractor pulls, water ski and even private recreational vehicle use. In addition the prohibition extends to events not requiring any formed or constructed race track or infrastructure. It also includes one off competitions or training/practice days unless the land is re-zoned.

While Government representatives agree it was not the intention of the changes they are not willing to fix the problem
