This is absolutely ridiculous. The Greenbelt is there for a reason - by removing land from the Greenbelt you are taking away its reason for existence. Adding land to the Greenbelt is great- but not at the expense of removing some. I have a feeling that the land being removed likely belongs to developer buddies of the government, which would be politicking at its worst- but even if it isn't, it's horribly short sighted decision making. Do not do this if you actually care about your children's future.
