Alkimos, a new area in Perth's north-west coastal corridor located 40km north of Perth's CBD will have over 55,000 residential blocks of land for development. The development of roads, hospitals, schools, major retail, commercial and recreational facilities in this area will be compromised if we allow speculators to grab and hold on to this land.

Our wages rise by just a few dollars whilst property prices jumped $766 per day in Melbourne’s December 09 quarter.
Now is the time to send a clear message to the Rudd Labor Government that the balance needs to change.
