Jacana (the tropical bird with the long
toes) will be the name for the housing area west of Pascoe Vale Rd. and south
of Broadmeadows Road.
The Housing Commission informed
Broadmeadows Council last week of the acceptance of the name.
But Council will maintain that the area
east of Pascoe Vale Road will still be called Broadmeadows so that it won’t
lose its identity.
The new Jacana station will be built mainly
to serve residents in the Western Commission settlement.
(FOOTNOTE: Road construction work in this new
area, north of the overpass in Pascoe Vale Road is almost complete. More than
500 homes will be built there).
