Heritage permit determination


August 15, 2019

Our city is rapidly growing and there is an increasing need for Fawkner Park to provide both passive open space and active recreational opportunities for our diverse community.

The park has longstanding issues with drainage, landscape health and cycling and pedestrian conflicts.

In response to these challenges, the City of Melbourne consulted with the community and developed a design response that was supported by Council.

Council was advised on Thursday 1 August that Heritage Victoria has refused our permit application. We will consider our response to this decision over the coming weeks.

For more information about the project, see the proposed concept plan.
