Current Status

From Mary at BNFNG:

• I attended the Kooyong Community Forum on Thursday 9 Dec held by our Federal MP, Josh Frydenberg. Several members of BNFNG attended and we had the opportunity to speak with Andrew McIntosh (Kew MP & now State Minister), Josh Frydenberg and Nick Tragas (the new Boroondara Mayor). Discussions were very positive - and I was very impressed by Josh's commitment to the people he represents.
• Congratulations to both Andrew & Robert Clarke MP on their appointments to the State cabinet.
• Congratulations to Nick Tragas on his appointment as Mayor.
• Congratulations to both our councillor Brad Miles, elected as Chair of Services Special Committee, and to Councillor Phillip Healey, Studley Ward, elected as Chair of Urban Planning Committee (who has been a long-time supporter of BNFNG) on their appointments.
• We are hoping to meet with Rob Clarke (now State's Attorney-General) in late January/February to discuss a solution to our issue, better protection for all Victorian communities via a better and more consistent measurement standard, having an authority other than VicRoads protecting communities, night time policy, and the ramifications for Balwyn North, Kew and Bulleen of the proposed North East Link.
