Question 2 (7 marks)
Representation 1
Land secured for the community A significant piece of Indigenous land will remain as public space thanks to the collaborative efforts of the community, Council and the State Government. The former site of Ballerrt Mooroop College in Glenroy, which includes a spirit tree and ceremonial ground, has been leased to Council and passed on to the community. Moreland Mayor Cr Helen Davidson said it was fitting the announcement came during Reconciliation Week. `This is a time to celebrate and build on the respectful relationships shared by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other Australians, and Council is proud to have worked with the community [to] ensure this space remains open to the whole community,' said Cr Davidson. Council has committed $50000 towards a feasibility study of the site, to be undertaken by the Wurundjeri Council.
