Thanks to Mary V for reminding us of the draft Community Local Law 2025 which is on Shaping Banyule for feedback, closing this coming Saturday 31st.   There is also a feedback request from the State Government, Help us Shape Victoria's future.  This is a chance to influence State Government thinking and it closes on Friday 30th.

Banyule Community Local Law 2025 covers all sorts of things  - The Local Law aims to ensure safety and amenity for all people who live, work and visit Banyule. It regulates things such as overhanging vegetation, footpath trading and the protection of Council assets.
