Petition

There is presently a petition circulating, organised by the Pentridge Community Action Group, to try to stop the sale of D Division at Pentridge. D Division is the old women's gaol.

The original developer signed a Section 173 agreement with the state government or the Moreland Council that it would create a museum in 8 of the D Division cells. This has never been enforced.

Most sections of Pentridge have been totally demolished with remaining ones having the walls painted over in bright, colours, obliterating the social history that was encapsulated in the graffiti on the cell walls. 

The petition calls on the state government to purchase the site and create the museum.

NCN members might wish to consider signing and circulating the petition.
