Proposed St Joseph's Christian College in Yuroke

The Petition of certain citizens of the State of Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Council the rejection of the proposed establishment of St Joseph's Christian College located at 1585 Mickleham Road, Yuroke VIC 3063. Despite substantial community support and assurances of adherence to the Department of Transport and Planning requirements, the proposal was dismissed without adequate consideration of its potential benefits. This institution would have a positive impact, through tailored curriculum and pedagogy, on the preservation of faith, cultural heritage and the UNESCO listed endangered Assyrian language. 

The Petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Council call on the Government to approve the St Joseph's Christian College proposal and reconsider it with due regard to the significant community backing.
