The Al Noor orphanage, which currently leases the Castle Bowling Green (between Victoria Walk and Melbourne Road) from Council, has been a controversial addition to the community of Woodstock.
Council granted the orphanage a 5 year lease with the option to renew without appropriate public participation – the Green is zoned public open space. The full story appeared in the Nov 2007 issue of the WORD ON WOODSTOCK.
Thanks to the hard work of neighbouring residents and the support of Councillor Cedric Thomas, the orphanage has removed one of its illegal containers from the grounds. It has also removed livestock (chickens) from the grounds and is more sensitive to neighbours’ requests for less noise after 10pm.
Our thanks to Al Noor for co-operating with the community.
