Once it's gone it can never be replaced.

The hideous precinct around Doncaster Shoppingtown and Tram Rd should serve as a warning that if we do not act swiftly to save what remains of our heritage, it will be swallowed up in the name of 'progress', thus reducing the suburbs of Manningham to ordinary, dull and predictable. Schramm's Cottage is the perfect location for St John's church if it cannot be preserved where it currently stands. I urge Manningham Council to listen to what we are saying, and create some way for this to be possible in the very near future.

In 1969, when I was a teenager, my family bought land and built a house in Donvale. This was the time when the area was changing from rural landholdings, kept in the same families for generations, to a residential suburb. I remember the vicar from St.John's made a personal visit to our house to invite the family to the church and introduce us to the local community. The church had obviously played a very important role in being a focal point where the surrounding families could gather for social events, as well as fulfilling its religious purpose.
It's wonderful to be able to read recollections of life generations ago, but it adds a totally different dimension to be able to enter the very buildings where all those memories were made. The investment made in preserving St.John's now will pay dividends in the form of connecting future generations to the lives of Donvale's past residents.

I was not aware the decision to relocate St John's Church had been abandoned. Once our history is lost we can never reclaim it. Please think about the long term benefits of relocating this historic church and not take the easy and probably the cheaper option of destroying our heritage!!

It's a structure that forms such a large part of Donvales' local history should not be lost.
