There is definitely movement on this.... :-)

I just received a response from Councillor Johanna Skelton

Good Morning Andrew, 

I hope you're well.  Thank you for coordinating the Petition and publicity for this proposal.

I requested the council officers look into this access route previously.  Let me check in on where that is at, and ask for a response to you directly.  

If you would like to lodge or present the petition to a Council meeting there may be other details that the petition requires. The Governance team will guide you through that.   https://www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au/Council/Council-meetings/Submissions-questions-petitions-to-Council

You may wish to wait to see what the Trails team determine before you speak to Council but I'll leave that up to you. 

Thanks again for your work on this.  A response from Council officers will come to you soon.  

Regards

Johanna
