Federal and state Greens, Liberals and independent candidates banded together on Wednesday to fight to save a beloved daycare in Melbourne’s inner east facing eviction. The Victorian government snubbed the event.
A coalition of state and federal members from across all three major parties have joined the campaign to try to save a beloved kindergarten facing eviction in Melbourne’s inner east, but the Allan government has refused to commit to saving the centre.
With Labor opting not to field a candidate for the February 8 Prahran contest, it is shaping up as a battle between Greens candidate Angelica Di Camillo and the Liberal Party’s Rachel Westaway. In July, Stonnington Council pledged to look at options to purchase the land to allow the centre to continue its operation. Stonnington Mayor Melina Sehr and its chief executive have written letters, seen by this masthead, to Kilkenny and Blandthorn urging for funding or partnership options for the site. They have not received a response.
The Windsor Community Children’s Centre chair, Frances Hynes, is pleased with the renewed attention from politicians as the centre awaits the government’s determination.
