A petition urging the State Government to immediately approve an amendment to the Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme (C87) to protect the Mount Eliza Woodlands, bearing 1,770 signatures in two instalments, was tabled in the Legislative Assembly on 3 December 2008 and 1 April 2009:
“To the Legislative Assembly of Victoria:
The petition of certain citizens of the state of Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly the failure of the Minister for Planning to approve Mornington Peninsula planning scheme amendment C87 unanimously adopted by the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council on 8 October 2007, noting that such approval will maintain a minimum 2500-square-metre lot size in the approximate 750-hectare area known as Woodland in Mount Eliza, and the preservation of some 11 800 mostly native trees.
The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly of Victoria ensure the prompt approval of the amendment.”
