Heatherdale Community Action Group - discussing Heatherdale Reserve

Published by Alex Makin on Wednesday 9th of April, 2008

At tonight’s Heatherdale Community Action Group meeting I discussed the Heatherdale Reserve Landscape Plan, which is located in Vermont abutting Heatherdale Road and the Dandenong Creek.

Council has received a grant through the Dandenong Creek Living Links project and is currently undertaking consultation as to the facilities that the community would welcome at the reserve. I distributed a survey at the meeting to encourage feedback and it was great to see a strong interest from the Heatherdale community in regard to this reserve.

The funding received for the reserve will allow council to begin implementation of a final landscape plan and to incorporate the community feedback.

Heatherdale Community Action Group meeting

The Heatherdale Community Action Group exists to preserve, protect and enhance the amenity of Heatherdale Road and neighbouring areas. Heatherdale is in a unique situation where the locality is divided between Maroondah (the eastern side of Heatherdale Road) and Whitehorse (the western side of Heatherdale Road).

The Action Group is able to provide a voice for Heatherdale resdients to ensure that the two councils are aware of their concerns. I have been a regular participant at the meetings both prior to the election and since being elected in 2005.

The Heatherdale Community Action Group often includes an impressive range of speakers covering topics such as planning, transport, the environment as well as health and safety issues.
