Restore our historic park in Camberwell Junction
Boroondara City Council
We are petitioning Boroondara Council to restore our historic park and improve the green space in Camberwell Junction for the benefit of the whole community.
Why?
- There are no adequate public parks or playgrounds for the rapidly growing population in Camberwell Junction.
- Land owned by the State Government was used for over 100 years as public gardens and a children’s playground, has since 2010 been primarily used as a commuter car park for the staff of Boroondara City Council.
What are we aiming to achieve?
Restoration of our historic park, with playgrounds and community facilities, and the land once again permanently reserved by State Legislation for public gardens.

[Your Name]
The Petition draws to the attention of Boroondara City Council:
1. There are no adequate public parks or playgrounds for the rapidly growing population in Camberwell Junction.
2. Since 2010, crown land (owned by the State Government) that was historically used for public gardens and as a children’s playground for over 100 years, has been primarily used as a commuter car park for the staff of Boroondara City Council.
We the undersigned request that the Mayor and Councillors of Boroondara City Council work with the Victorian Government to:
A. Restore our historic park in Camberwell Junction with playgrounds and community facilities, by dedicating a segment of Reserve Road, Camberwell and adjacent crown land for this purpose.
B. Restore the original permanent reservation of crown land allotment 113C for ‘public gardens’, as it was from 1882 to 1969.
