Melville councillors approve cricket pitch, clearing native bushland despite opposition

City of Melville councillors voted 8-5 to clear 0.55 hectares of native bushland for a new cricket pitch in Leeming. The project, tied to a 2022 commitment by federal MP Sam Lim, requires securing approximately $470,000 in federal grants and has drawn significant community opposition due to environmental concerns. The decision reflects ongoing tensions over funding disparities.
