In the last term of Council …
In this term as Mayor, Councilor Messina entreated the community to sign her petition to save the market. It has gone, where? In a motion passed at council she was to meet with the Minister for Planning. Has she done that??
When DADA asks questions about Preston Market, at council meetings, the response has been to buckpass the responsibility to the Minister for Planning. (read questions and answers in other posts)
Has the Mayor given up on saving Preston Market, again???
She has not signed the community lead petition for public acquisition of Preston Market.
Is she planning to run for a second term as mayor with the Greens Councillors support?? We hope not.
DADA continues to ask Darebin Council what they are doing to progress the community desire to save the Preston Market from over-development and advocate for acquisition of the site.
Here are our Questions and the answers from the minutes of the council meeting of the 25th of October, 2021.
Council recently considered the State Government roadmap to environmentally sustainable development. Environmentally-sustainable-development-of-buildings-and-subdivisions-A-roadmap-for-Victorias-Planning-System

DADA ESD submission C Erlandsen
DADA will continue to advocate for the protection of Preston Market on it’s current footprint. We do not believe and have not been shown any evidence that the market can be saved by moving and rebuilding it.
Below are the last set of questions and answers from the general council meeting on December 7th 2020.
Note the spin; council continue make ingenuous claims that they support the continuation of the market on the “site” not on it’s current footprint. They also claim to want to protect significant heritage features but not on the current building or footprint.
New to council’s response is the palm off to the state government. Happy reading!
