A petition urging the Bracks Government to protect the Mornington Peninsula from over-development by allowing a Planning Scheme independent of Melbourne 2030, bearing a total of 1,117 signatures in two instalments, was tabled in the Legislative Assembly on 15th February and 19th April 2007:
"The petition of the undersigned residents of Victoria calls on the house to reject the plan by the Bracks government for the Mornington Peninsula to become another suburb of Melbourne and requests that the area have a separate and distinct planning scheme that allows for the rejection of inappropriate development and high-rise buildings, and enables the special character of the Mornington Peninsula to be retained and enhanced."
