Thankyou for signing the petition to keep Pioneers Retreat in Batman Park as a community lease. The petition was presented at the Darebin council meeting on 23 June. The outcome was a unanimous Councillor vote to send the request back to Council staff via the CEO for action. The sentiment was positive in support of the request for reclassification of the property as a 'community' lease. We do not yet have a final outcome and we may still have to 'bid' for a lease in July, but the issue was certainly raised effectively. On this video you can see the vote at around 50 minutes in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxw1AMIw6bI
