    -  Part 2 - Relating to 36 Kooyongkoot Road, Hawthorn.
  • Endorse the officers’ response to the Panel’s recommendations and recommended changes to Amendment C284 (Part 1) and refer the revised Amendment C284 (Part 1) to an Ordinary Meeting of Council to be adopted.
  • Adopt the revised Hawthorn Heritage Gap Study.
  • Defer consideration of Amendment C284 (Part 2) until the VCAT proceedings pertaining to 36 Kooyongkoot Road, Hawthorn and any required actions arising have concluded.
