Council has three Shaping Banyule consultations running at the moment:
- Creating a Water Sensitive City, survey closes tomorrow 25 November
- Supporting Local Creatives, survey closing 29 November
- Looking after Darebin Parklands and Darebin Creek Catchment, survey closes 2 December. Towards the end of 2023 Banyule proposed ceasing funding for the Darebin Parklands, but extended the funding for a short while following a strong community response. A review of the land management of the Parklands and catchment coordination is now being done, and this survey is your opportunity to tell Council what you think about it.
