Coming Next

Join Friends of Native Wildlife for a nature walk and survey through Sandringham. We will look for Common Bronzewings, Spinebills and other birds and insects, and you will learn about the bat boxes we have set up for habitat for microbat species. We will finish with a tour of Bay Road Heathland Sanctuary with the expert volunteers who work there.

The walk will be about 3 km on some rough and uneven ground and narrow paths as well as pavement. We walk in all but extreme weather conditions.

Meet at George St Urban Forest entrance opposite Talinga Rd in Sandringham (map) , Melway 77 B12.

Wear: sturdy walking shoes, warm clothing and a hat.

Bring: water, sunscreen and a sense of humour. Binoculars are helpful for spotting birds and keen eyes for close up insects. Hopefully a rain umbrella will not be required.

Children under 16 accompanied by an adult please.

Free for FoNW members.

Limited places available.

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.
