On Wednesday the 27th of May the Baw Baw Shire Council announced their decision to abandon the proposed sale of Drouin parkland.
After a year of protests and campaigning the residents adjacent Bellbird park are now able to put this episode behind them.
The council not only recognised the emotional attachment the residents had with this land but they rezoned the four blocks as parkland instead of their previous designation as residential grounds.
Belinda King said “We won… we never thought it possible, but we did it”.
Residents held a community meeting on Thursday the 28th of May that included a celebratory barbecue in the park.
