Shire of Melton and the Melton Botanic Garden
The following motion was passed at the Melton Shire Council on Monday 24th October, 2005:
1. Council supports the botanical gardens theme within the Town Centre Park subject to the FMBG group presenting to Council for approval a design and financial funding options available to sustain the initiative.

2. Council officers continue discussions with the FMBG Group in relation to future concept designs and dedicated space within Town Centre Park.
This means we are on the way to establishing the Melton Botanic Garden in Town Centre Park
