BAAG is a recognised industry leader and operates an innovative art, garden and environmental business that has become an integral part of the local community over its 50-year history on the site. The business has been in the current family ownership for 37 years, with a committed and capable team. BAAG is an integral part of the community and a recognised asset that takes much pride in its contribution to the community generally and through its cultural and environmental actions. The current EES identifies the land that BAAG operates from as being required for the Manningham Road Construction Compound and therefore BAAG faces acquisition and likely closure of the business. In addition to the loss of jobs, the substantial contribution BAAG makes to sustainable gardening, environmental enhancement and accessible, community focused art would be lost.

  • 09 OK Cr Prof Base Graeme.Pub
    Graeme Base I was born in England in 1958, but have lived in Australia since I was a kid. I always wanted to be an artist and studied graphic design at Swinburne College of Technology then worked for two unhappy years in a string of design studios before concluding that the world of advertising was not for me. So I decided to be a rockstar instead and formed a band called Rikitikitavi. During this time I also wrote and illustrated my first picture book, My Grandma Lived in Gooligulch (pub. 1983). Three years later Animalia came out – the book which turned a hobby into a career and is still the most popular title I have published. I've tried to stay involved in music over the years, composing an orchestral version of another book, The Sign of the Seahorse, which was performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in 2001 – an amazing experience! I've written musical stage adaptations of My Grandma Lived in Gooligulch and Jungle Drums and also co-wrote the theme for the animated TV series Animalia with Yuri Worontschak. My most recent picture book is Enigma, published by Penguin in October 2008. There was also a large format book entitled The Art of Graeme Base by Julie Watts, also published in 2008. I live and work in Melbourne with Robyn (she's an artist too) and our three teenage kids. Website: www. graemebase.com Author / Illustrator Questionaire My earliest memory is …..falling on a lump of coal as I tottered down the side of the house and cutting my knee (I still have the scar).
