Preston Market Update: The VPA finally release recommendations on the future of Preston Market
The following Age article outlines the Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) recommendations, not in line with community expectations, based on sham consultations and pro over development.
The key thing to note is that these are not planning provisions and can be ignored by VCAT. Unless there are strong heritage and planning controls the market will not be safe from over development.
The only hope for the market and the site is for Darebin Council to acquire it and develop as open space.

Preston Market Update: Sign the Petition
With the Victorian Planning Authority recommendations for the development of the Preston Market iminate, Darebin Mayor, Lina Messina, has launched yet another petition.
This is the third petition to gather community support for keeping the market where it is with heritage features in place.
Still, we are asking folk to sign if it means convincing the Minister for Planning that this is what the community want and expect.
