Preston Market: Standing Advisory Committee (SAC) Submissions

DADA has been the longest running community group working to save Preston Market from demolition and the site over-developed.

We have been represented and participated in the many iterations of community groups. The first being The People for Preston Market in 2014, Save Our Preston Market in 2016, Save The Preston Market, 2018 and Save Preston Market Action Group, 2020.

DADA initiated and led the case for heritage listing of Preston Market and was integral in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) case, Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) consultation and Planning Panels Victoria Standing Advisory Committee hearing.

DADA members have attended protests, picnics and public meetings as recorded in the minutes of DADA meetings on this website.

The SAC hearing ran from the 3rd of October to the 9th of November. DADA was present most days and participated by cross examining expert witnesses and delivering substantial submissions and supporting materials.

The DADA submission to the SAC was split into two, written and presented by Chris Erlandsen, Vice President and Maria Poletti, President;

Has Darebin Council given up on saving the Preston Market?

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.
