Wild In Bayside: Preserving The Night

Wild In Bayside talks are hosted by Friends of Native Wildlife Inc in spring and autumn every year to inform our members and residents about wildlife and how we can improve our area for native fauna.

Light pollution is needless and expensive, disturbs our wildlife and is disruptive for people too. Good lighting keeps people safe while minimising ill-effects. Our guest speaker, Judith Bailey, is Immediate Past President of DarkSky Victoria, a chapter of DarkSky International. Judith will talk about the effects of light pollution and DarkSky's work to build awareness and to mitigate excessive and poorly designed lighting.

Judith has been advocating for preservation of the night sky for over 30 years. She belongs to a number of environmental groups and is a past Manager of the Ballarat Municipal Observatory and Museum.

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

Free community event.

Tue 29 Apr 2025 7:30pm to 9:30pm

Tulip St Pond development proposal submission PP 49/2020

PDF icon Download Tulip St Pond PP 49/2020 Submission

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.
