To Whom it May Concern

Friends of Nillumbik Inc. supports council’s proposed Amendment C101 which will introduce new ESO overlays into the Planning Scheme (ESO1, 2, 3 and 4).

FoN presentation on C85 on 8th September 2015
Friends of Nillumbik thanks you for the opportunity to speak on C85 Amendment. We support the Independent Panel’s Recommendation and accept that this site has to be sold in order to get ratepayers’ money back so, however much we would love to see a Nature Reserve or Land for Wildlife there, the reality is that this cannot happen without a rich and generous philanthropist coming forward.

 Presentation to Planning & Building C'tee (2nd town square application)                    

9th Sept, 2014

FoN’s objection is to the construction of a council-owned food and drink premises in the Square.  We support the other upgrades but call for, tree plantings to be indigenous species rather than exotics, and that the excessive tree removal plan be reconsidered.  

The current plan with one café building is a compromise proposal, however, despite the compromise, we believe contentious issues remain:
