As you may be aware, last year Council presented a proposal to lease the vacant land at 1F Ashline Street, Wollert to provide affordable housing for local people.

Council resolved to seek community feedback on this proposal and held a number of consultation opportunities including online focus groups, surveys and an online information session. The most recent opportunity offered for community feedback was a drop-in session at Kirrip Community Centre on Saturday 16 July 2022.

The community has provided Council with a lot of feedback to consider. Your contribution is very important to us and we are still reviewing it in detail. Council is committed to ensure that the communities’ contributions and views on how Ashline Street should be used is given appropriate consideration. On this basis, we are writing to let you know that a decision on the proposal won’t be made this year but will be considered by Council in a meeting early in 2023.

As you have registered your interest in this project, you will be given advance notice of when the proposal is scheduled to be considered at a future Council meeting. We will write to you to let you know and provide updated details on our Engage Whittlesea website.

Thank you for your interest in this proposal. If you have any questions, please contact Council at strategic.planning@whittlesea.vic.gov.au or on 9217 2056.
