Monash Heritage Study

Within the Oakleigh area, whose township is one of the oldest in Melbourne, Council has identified six precincts as worthy of consideration for heritage protection through including a Heritage Overlay in the Monash Planning Scheme.
What Council has tried to achieve through the Heritage Overlay is the preservation of the unique character of these precincts or neighbourhoods for the broader community living within them. With this Overlay you are still be able to extend, alter and refurbish your home after gaining a town planning permit.
No permit is required to plant and remove trees, paint interiors and exteriors in any colour or combination of colours you wish or carry out other routine maintenance around your home. Dual occupancy is also permitted if the normal planning requirements are met and the character of the heritage precinct is not adversely affected by the development.
The main change resulting from the Heritage Overlay is that all building demolitions need a planning permit from Council. In determining whether to issue the permit, Council will consider the impact on the surrounding neighbourhood of both the removal of the house and the proposed replacement building/s. Proposed developments that are not in keeping with the precinct's character are unlikely to be approved.

TERJEMAHAN LIRIK "ALWAYS" BON JOVI

This romeo is bleeding
Sang (Yuliet) ini sedang berdarah
But you can't see his blood
Namun kau tak dapat melihat darahnya
It's nothing but some feelings
Bukan apa-apa, hanya perasaan
That this old dog kicked up
Bahwa anjing tua ini tlah dicampakkan

It's been raining since you left me
Hujan telah turun sejak kau tinggalkanku
Now I'm drowning in the flood
Kini aku tenggelam dalam banjir
You see I've always been a fighter
Kau tahu aku orang yang pantang menyerah
But without you I give up
Namun tanpamu aku menyerah

Now I can't sing a love song
Kini tak bisa kunyanyikan lagu cinta
Like the way it's meant to be
seperti dulu lagi
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
Memang kurasa aku tak sebagus dulu
But baby, that's just me
Namun kasih, aku tetaplah aku

And I will love you, baby always
Dan aku akan mencintaimu, kasih, selalu
And I'll be there forever and a day, always
Dan aku akan ada tiap hari dan selamanya, Selalu
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Aku akan ada hingga bintang tak lagi bersinar
Till the heavens burst and
Hingga langit runtuh dan
The words don't rhyme
Kata-kata tak lagi bernada
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
Dan aku tahu saat kumati, kau 'kan di pikiranku
And I'll love you, always
Dan aku 'kan mencintaimu, selalu

Now your pictures that you left behind
Kini gambarmu yang kau tinggalkan
Are just memories of a different life
Menjadi kenangan masa lalu
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
Yang kadang membuat kita tertawa, kadang membuat kita menangis
One that made you have to say goodbye
Satu yang membuatmu melangkah pergi
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
Apapun 'kan kulakukan agar aku bisa membelai rambut
To touch your lips, to hold you near
Menyentuh bibirmu, mendekapmu erat
When you say your prayers try to understand
Saat kau ucapkan doamu, cobalah mengerti
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man
Aku tlah berbuat salah, aku hanya manusia
 When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
Saat dia mendekapmu erat, saat dia memelukmu lekat
When he says the words you've been needing to hear
Saat dia ucapkan kata-kata yang telah lama ingin kau dengar
I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine
Aku kan berharap aku adalah dirinya karena itu adalah kata-kataku
To say to you till the end of time
Yang kuKatakan padamu hingga akhir waktu


Yeah, I will love you baby, always
Yeah, aku 'kan mencintaimu kasih, selalu
And I'll be there forever and a day, always
Dan aku kan ada hari ini dan selamanya, selalu

If you told me to cry for you
Jika kau pinta aku menangis untukmu
I could
Kan kulakukan
If you told me to die for you
Jika kau pinta aku mati untukmu
I would
Kan kulakukan
Take a look at my face
Lihatlah wajahku
There's no price I won't pay
Semua 'kan kulakukan
To say these words to you
Untuk mengucapkan kata-kata ini padamu

Well, there ain't no luck
Memang tak ada keberuntungan
In these loaded dice
Dalam lemparan dadu ini
But baby if you give me just one more try
Namun kasih jika kau beri aku satu kesempatan lagi
We can pack up our old dreams
Bisa kita kemasi mimpi lama kita
And our old lives
Dan hidup kita yang dulu
We'll find a place where the sun still shines
'Kan kita temukan tempat dimana matahari masih bersinar

And I will love you, baby always
Dan aku akan mencintaimu, kasih, selalu
And I'll be there forever and a day, always
Dan aku akan ada tiap hari dan selamanya, Selalu
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Aku akan ada hingga bintang tak lagi bersinar
Till the heavens burst and
Hingga langit runtuh dan
The words don't rhyme
Kata-kata tak lagi bernada
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
Dan aku tahu saat kumati, kau 'kan di pikiranku
And I'll love you, always
Dan aku 'kan mencintaimu, selalu

a letter from saidah

Assalamualaikum wr ab.

It was very interesting to read your letter about yourself and your hometown I would  really like to be your pen friend.

I’m a sixteen-year-old school student from Johor  Bahru in Malaysia Actually I attend an Islamic boarding school just outside  the city but my family live in Kuala Lumpur. My eldest sister is a medical doctor. She will get married soon . My younger brother is an elementary school student in KL but he often writes to me email.

My favorite subjects are social sciences. I like history very much, it helps me know more how different countries existed in the past. At school we are supposed to use English at all times, even when we are in the dormitory, so we have become quite fluent although sometimes we slip back into Malay. Which is our mother tongue.

As for hobbies, I’m really into songs and music. My favorite singer is Yusuf Islam whose farmer name was cat steven. He’s so cool! Another singer I like is Maher Zain with his religious songs. My favorite Malay singer is of course Siti Nurhaliza. I also like watching movies, especially comedies. The actor I like best is Tom Cruise.

I’m really into books. I like reading novels and short stories, mostly by Malay authors who you probably haven’t heard of. I like some writers in English, like JK Rowling and Indonesian writers too, like Andrea Hirata and Ahmad Fuadi. My dream, when I’m older, is to be a writer of science fiction books set in the distant future.

I’d really love to come to Indonesia some day. I heard that it has the largest number of Muslims of any country. A book that I’ve just read mentions that there are some magnificent places to visit, such as, Bali, Sulawesi, Papua and Borneo! What about you, do you want to visit my country? Wassalam, Saidah.
