Petition to save Gretana Crescent

Petition to save Gretana Crecent

Both the Karingal Residents Association and the Karingal Local Area Planning committee have been working hard on behalf of the community to save Gretana Crescent open space from being sold off. Their latest effort is to create a petition to be presented to Frankston Council.  You can down load the petition here: Petition to Frankston Council

The Petition

The petition aims to have: FRANKSTON CITY COUNCIL RETAIN OWNERSHIP OF THE GRETANA CRESCENT RESERVE. This is rather than sell it off to land developers.

The petition call on the Mayor and Councillors of Frankston City Council to desist any and all moves to sell the Gretana Crescent Reserve for private development and note that:

• Council needs to respect the Karingal Community’s overwhelming desire to retain this open space in full for active and passive recreational purposes such as tennis, basketball and children’s playground;
• The Karingal community places a high value on open space and wants the reserve improved immediately and reserved for our children’s future;
• With the Frankston Housing Strategy forecasting higher density, high-rise housing and the Karingal Activities Structure Plan highlighting the expansion of Karingal Centro, the Karingal community’s reliance on the Gretana Crescent Reserve and other open spaces in Karingal will escalate.
