Summary and background:

Craig Bishop, owner of Evolution Automotive, is establishing Australia’s first EV Hub in Alphington. His EV Hub would convert petrol and diesel vehicles to electric, and would also include charging stations, e‑bike sharing and more. This proposal aligns with Darebin Council objectives and presents an exciting innovation for Darebin to show leadership on the climate emergency. However, his proposal to Darebin Council was rejected for undisclosed reasons, and Craig has been served notice to vacate his premises at the former Melbourne Innovation Centre by 30 April 2024.

Petition to Darebin Council:

We, the undersigned concerned citizens, request that Darebin Council: (1) recognize Craig’s innovations as exciting and beneficial to the community and Council; (2) conduct a full and transparent review of his proposal; and (3) extend his lease until this matter is fully resolved.
