Coming Next

Let's look into some of the characteristics that make frogs so fascinating and essential to our way of life. We will also talk about some of the frog species found in the greater Melbourne region and our role in helping to protect them.

Our guest speaker is Jane Petch, Master of Water Resource Management. Jane is Waterwatch Coordinator for the Frog Census Program, Melbourne Water. She works to build community awareness and advocacy for the protection of frogs and their habitat.

Friends of Native Wildlife have been monitoring the best frog sites in Bayside for nearly twenty years and contributing to the Frog Census. During spring when frogs are most vocal, we invite members to come to learn more about frogs and their calls.

This event will include a brief Annual General Meeting for Friends of Native Wildlife Inc.

Free community event.

Tulip St Pond development proposal submission PP 49/2020

Tulip Street Pond is one of the very few places in Bayside where frogs regularly breed, particulary larger frogs such as the Eastern Banjo (Pobblebonk) frog. Planning proposal 49/2020 for basketball courts impacts the pond, but neglects to consider the pond's importance to frogs and other native wildllife. Friends of Native Wildlife Inc. lodged an objection to the proposal with Council. This is a copy of our objection.

2020 Bayside Council Election - Responses to Candidate Questionnaire

We sent a questionnaire to every candidate for the 2020 Bayside Council election who provided contact details to the Victorian Electoral Commission (61 out of 66). We asked about issues we think are important for our community. It is not our intention to dictate to anyone how they should vote in the Council election, and we will not be endorsing any candidates. Rather, we want you to be well informed when you exercise your vote.
