A council meeting descended in chaos and became so noisy that the police were called after residents had expressed their anger about laws that limit what they could do on their own property.
About 500 local Ratepayers expressed their frustration during the City of Casey Council meeting in Narre Warren, 44 km southeast of Melbourne's CBD, on Tuesday evening.
The chaos started when Mayor Stefan Koomen started the meeting with a recognition for the country.
Many residents shouted in disapproval and called on the mayor to stop, but he went on and read a recognition of diversity, making the Ratepayers angry further.
The mayor was then interrogated by residents who were furious about the new regulations of the council, who require private landowners to obtain permits for storing non -registered vehicles and limiting vehicle repairs on personal property.
According to the updated rules, homeowners and residents must apply for a permit and pay a non-residual application costs of $ 150 if they intend to make important changes to a vehicle to their property.
Additional permits are also required for storing various items: $ 150 for a recreational vehicle, $ 350 for a shipping container, $ 473 for a long or heavy vehicle and $ 250 for a non -registered vehicle.
Mayor Koomen said that the permits are not intended to generate income. The Council has explained the purpose of the permits to “support and protect the peace, health, safety and well -being of the community.”

But the angry residents did not bought their apologies.
A furious room roared 'just close your f ****** mouth' while Burgemeester Koomen spoke.
The council was also beaten to approve a $ 27 million waste transfer facility on Hallam Road, which would be within 250 meters of residential homes.
The waste station, which will process 550,000 tons of municipal waste each year, was approved by managers days before new council members were sworn in.
The local population was furious about the answers of the council members to questions about the proposed facility, with anger and shouting of 'B *******'.
At a certain point a council member of the council should say: “We must have a break or continue to exist (with the questions).”
They again asked the crowd to be quiet, but the meeting was postponed when that did not happen.
“Under Clause 79 of the rules of the city of Casey Government, I postpone this meeting for 10 minutes,” they said.
The local population was furious with the new rules of the council that required permits for storing non -registered vehicles and restrictions on repairing vehicles on private property
But when the meeting started again just before 8 p.m., it was quickly postponed and postponed to a later date.
Council members and council staff were accompanied by the police for their protection.
Many Aussies unleashes the council on social media.
It was said, “They should not vote for no trust on all councilors and get rid of them, they don't have the right to do what they do with people who own their own property.”
“Casey Council did not care about the people who were present,” added a second.
'They just wanted to read what was on their paper and continued to control and dictate us and also pretend to have power and the right to enter private ownership when they want and treat us with a lack of respect and as if we don't know it What happens. '
A third said: “They don't have the right to do what they do with people who own their own property.”
Another added: 'This is the advice of over and dystopic. Councils must be abolished because they no longer add value to people's lives. '
