Neighbourhood character - development changes houses into units, private gardens become a couple of pot plants. Streets become parking lots. Where is the Council response?

Just what is community engagement? How can the community best be involved in decisions that affect them? How "local" is local government? Who gets access to decision-makers?

Roads, rates and rubbish is only part of the local government story. Are we in the south getting our fair share?

Don't hope there is no Queensland Fruit Fly about - check for it, then eradicate it.

Bikes, pedestrians & vehicles co-exist harmoniously in a city with 12 times Melbourne's population density.

Great patience required in 1901 ingetting "movement at the station". Perhaps A. B. PATERSON was referring to a different station.

Does the parking lot of the Town Hall complex at Ivanhoe qualify as "public open space"? A place for a picnic, to throw a frisbee, to have a scratch cricket match? Banyule Council claims it is!

Eaglemont has had many moments in the sporting spotlight but eventually housing has crowded out our sporting venues.

Neighbourhood houses should be accessible in ALL neighbourhoods!
