Hi Everyone
I would like to bring to your attention a new community group for Doreen that has recently been set up. In October 2011 a group of residents started the Group to deal with planning issues that are affecting our community. We are now in the process of formalising our group with a constitution and an elected committee. We have called the Group 'Doreen Residents' Action Group' (DRAG). The major issues DRAG is currently working on are a VCAT objection to the 5 storey 75 apartment high rise in Waterway Blvd Doreen, the protest against the movement of the UGB across 60 Watts Road Doreen which will rezone this land from green wedge RCZ to residential and the campaign to extend the railway line to Mernda. We are actively involved in making submissions to the State Government for better roads, public schools, the railway to Mernda and various other planning issues. We have recently had small win by getting the Whittlesea Council to review their stance on the movement of the UGB accross Watts Road and they now recognise the importance of public consultation in these matters.
If you are a current or future Doreen or Mernda resident and wish to keep up to date on these matters please follow this link on facebook. If you are a Doreen Resident and would like to join our group and stand up for your community please email us on DRAG3754@gmail.com.
