Shire wants ‘foreign ownership’ details
THE state and federal governments are being asked to consider establishing a database of land in Australia that is owned by overseas interests.
The suggestion by Mornington Peninsula Shire is part of a request for information of foreign ownership of land on the peninsula, particularly in the green wedge and special use zones.
Cr David Gill said he believed Australians had “a right to know about foreign ownership of our country”.
“We have a right to know about land banking by foreign identities, especially by developers pushing to rezone and subdivide,” he said.
“We should also know about lobby groups trying to exert influence over our various governments whose political parties still accept donations from self-interested land investors.”
