Nunawading Studios, steeped in over 60 years of groundbreaking television history, represents not only a site of local significance but one of international cultural heritage.

Production of iconic TV shows like "Prisoner Cell Block H" and "Neighbours" has garnered massive global audiences, transforming this land into a hub of creative and cultural importance.

Beyond its brick-and-mortar facade, the grounds are a symbol of international fascination, drawing thousands of tourists from around the world. 

Regrettably, a transformation plan threatens this heritage-rich land, aiming to turn the beloved studios into a distribution centre. Currently, only the red brick building itself possesses a protection status for its local historical value. The surroundings, however, are slated for overdevelopment, leaving our precious, history-laden grounds vulnerable to destruction and alteration.

The lands encapsulate an untouched natural beauty, decorated over decades by the footprints of creativity, artistry, and nature.

The cultural and economic impact of turning this iconic location into industrial space would be substantial. The local economy, once buoyed by the tourism attracted to such sites, may falter. Losing these historic grounds risks erasing pieces of entertainment history that have shaped global TV culture and discarded a key habitat now home to local wildlife.

The grounds of the 'Lassiters Complex', a part of this heritage site, significantly contribute to its beauty and cultural worth. Preserving this open space is not just about protecting nature; it's about honoring the cultural tapestries woven here.

Heritage status must be extended to cover these iconic grounds, maintaining it as a sanctuary and beautiful backdrop to the memories and stories that belong to countless generations.

Join us in our quest to secure full heritage protection for the grounds at Nunawading Studios. Let's safeguard our history, preserve this natural beauty, and ensure this beacon of creativity remains a cherished relic for all future generations to enjoy. Sign the petition and stand as guardians of our shared cultural heritage.
