COMMUNITY MEETING - MONDAY 19TH SEPTEMBER

The Merri Creek Residents Group is organising another community meeting for local residents and other interested parties to discuss the proposed Brunswick Terminal Station expansion.

Date: Monday 19th September
Time: 7.30pm
Venue: Merri Creek Primary School - Main Hall (enter via Ida Street)

This is a critical meeting for all those concerned about the proposed four-fold expansion of the current site to include a new 66kV terminal station.

Letters have been sent by Council notifying local residents of the application lodged by the power companies - you may have received yours on Friday this week - giving less than the required 2 weeks for objections to be submitted. This may be indicative of yet another series of blunders and insincere 'community consultations' that we saw last time this matter was taken to Council in 2010.

We urge you to come along to the meeting on the 19th, talk to your neighbours about the importance of having their voice heard, and make sure you take this opportunity to help shape our local community. Make no mistake - once this next upgrade goes ahead, there will be others in the years to come making this the largest industrial site in the whole of Moreland. If you don't want this for your neighbourhood, now is the time to stand up!
