SAVE COLLINS STREET FOR PARKLAND

Local Mentone residents want to save the Collins street former Council depot site for open space/parkland. Developers want to make it a 3 story nursing home and relocate elderly residents there from other nursing homes in the area. The site currently leads into a dead end street and is right next to a railway line and substation. All shops etc. are located across a major rd and railway line. The current nursing home sites is far better located next to parkland and close to shops if a new facility is built there.

The depot site, if turned into parkland would help to address a major shortage of open space in this area.

Fact: This part of Mentone has the least amount of open space in all of Kingston with only 1/6th of the minimum requirement according to Kingston Councils Open Space Strategy. This is also the ONLY piece of land Council own and could turn into open space, once this land is gone, it will be lost forever
