Advertisement Boroondara Council is resisting plans to turn its staff car park into green open space for a local school and residents, despite having $1.7 million in state funding to create a shared garden. The proposal would strip parking spaces from the staff at Boroondara Council, which manages the state-owned land and also provides permits for teachers from the neighbouring Camberwell Primary School and two-hour parking for the general public.
