An update from DG Peter Shepheard -
Further to my email on 8th May I am writing with an update to an area of the proposal which created much feedback.
I'm pleased to advise that upon review and reflection the part of the proposal about some clubs from D9790 and D9800 moving to the merged D9815/9830 has been reversed.
All clubs will remain in their current districts as part of the proposed merger. That means Brighton, Brighton North, Chadstone/East Malvern, Malvern, and Toorak will remain part of D9800 and along with the rest of the district will merge with D9780 and D9790 from 1/7/28 if the merger is approved.
I appreciate this part of the proposal was contentious and pleased that those clubs spoke up and the task force listened.
We will now await confirmation of the proposals to make the current 19 districts into 9.
Cheers
DG Peter Shepheard
