Thanks for your advocacy!

What a great night for Alphington on Tuesday at Council.

Not only did Councilors agree to fund neighbourhood houses with a 3.5% minimum increase (as we advocated for) for the next 4 year agreement and to allow us to access to community grant program, but they also voted for the Alphington Bowls Club community proposal for a refurbishment rather than a knockdown rebuild of the clubhouse. It’s’ quite nice to think that our two classic yellow brick 1950s buildings will continue to be part of the urban fabric of Alphington and that they are supported to remain strong community assets, isn’t it? I am sure the bowls club will be able to do an amazing job reorganising the spaces inside to make the building meet modern day needs.

Thanks to everyone that advocated on behalf of our houses, and we are also super pleased for our friends at and associated with the bowls club who have invested a simliar amount of time, energy and advocacy into coming to a consensus on their preferred pathway forward.

Happy days.
