People are invited to a meeting of residents of the City of Monash who are affected by the closure of public schools and the threatened loss of community green space and facilities.
The Notting Hill Community Association will host this meeting at 7.30 on the evening of Thursday 29 March. It will be held at Monash University, in room SG04, one of the Manton rooms on the ground floor of the Menzies Building.
The meeting will consider how the State Government may be persuaded to set aside for public use a portion of all public lands sold for development – most urgently, of public school sites in the City of Monash recently or about to be deemed surplus to requirements by the Department of Education.
It will also consider the decision by City of Monash Councillor Gerry Kottek to vote against the Council’s planned rezoning of the Monash Primary School Site to residential use unless a substantial section of the site is reserved for community use.
The meeting will also consider how the Monash Secondary College Theatrette can best be retained for community use.
If anyone would like further information or assistance on how to get to the meeting up at the campus please contact his website and nottynews@gmail.com

The meeting on 14th March was a great success, with real community spirit. Hopefully the meeting with reps from other communities will also prove that "people power" is alive and well.
