Success at last! The park has been saved!

Hurrah! The parkland, in entirety, has been gifted to the City of Moreland!

Well done everyone!

This is a fantastic result, which our group has been working relentlessly towards since late 2006, and we are over the moon that this outcome has finally been realised.

We know from various events and petitions and letters of support that the users of this parkland are from all over Melbourne’s inner north and we’re sure that everyone is breathing a collective sigh of relief that Justin Madden, Minister for Planning, agrees that this parkland is indeed a special place worth saving.

The years of writing letters to politicians and media, signing petitions, and gathering for shows of support in the parkland have been worth it and all residents should feel proud to have achieved this result.

There has been a lot of work done behind the scenes, with people volunteering all kinds of skills and we’re delighted to be able to thank you all - every single person involved in the campaign - now we have reached this incredibly positive outcome.

Generations to come will be able to appreciate this parkland as we do today - an oasis of green open space parkland available for recreation by all.
