Save Preston Market campaign
More than 600 local residents and traders rallied at the Preston Market in Melbourne鈥檚 north east on May 6 to tell Minister for Planning Richard Wynne to 鈥渃all in鈥 a development application for multi-storey apartments and a generic shopping centre that risks destroying their much-loved community hub.
The unexpectedly large turnout spilled out onto the road, prompting police to tell organiser Lori-anne Sharp, of the Save Preston Market group, to 鈥減ick a bigger site next time you call a protest鈥.
