Dear ALP Candidates,

This is to advise that we have still not received a response from you to our 2010 Election Survey.

I understand some candidates have experienced difficulties with the PDF Format Survey Form so we have now:

• Posted details of responses received to date on www.kew.org.au
• Extended the closing date for late responses to COB today Thursday 25th November; and
• Enclosed a Plain Text Format Survey Form option (below) to make sending an email response easier for those Candidates without access to appropriate PDF Forms software

Yours sincerely,

Brian Walsh

Dear Candidate,

The initial stages (1-3) of the Government/Walker Corporation development at Kew Cottages have been
extremely controversial in terms of adherence to Governmental “due process”, environmental impact, loss of
facilities for disabled Victorians and heritage loss.

As a consequence, a Public Meeting convened at the Kew Civic Centre on 2nd February 2010, called on all
candidates, in this year's election, to clearly state their views on the remaining Stages (4-7) of this
controversial Public Land Development adjoining the Yarra Bend parklands.

The Brumby Government failed to respond to this Resolution and to the Recommendations of two Public
Inquiries regarding Kew Cottages. So, one week before the election the views of individual ALP candidates
regarding the remaining stages of the Kew Cottages development are still unclear.

Similarly, the Opposition parties have yet to announce a clear alternative Plan for the development of the
remaining 14 hectares of Kew Cottages Public Land (Stages 4-7). So the views of Opposition candidates
also remain unclear.

This continuing lack of information about candidates’ views on this important issue so close to polling day is
not in the public interest.

To better inform the public, therefore, please complete the attached Online Survey form no later than this
Tuesday 23 November 2010.

Your participation will help us provide an adequate and comprehensive response to the 4th February public
request from your constituents.

The results of this Survey will be widely distributed to the media and published online via our
website www.kew.org.au

The website www.kew.org.au is permanently archived by the National Library of Australia, for current and
future voters to assess.

Thank you for participating in this Kew Cottages Coalition State Election Survey.

Yours sincerely,

Brian Walsh
