Comments The Manningham Leader is a local newspaper, focused on issues in the area surrounding the old Bulleen drive-in site. The audience would be Bulleen residents.

This article can be used for discussing the current state and future of the old drive-in site, something of significance since the site stands to this day completely unused. It is important in the discussion on what should be done, and reflects the dissatisfaction in the community that the historic site has been left to rot.

This article in particular reflects business man Marco Ferlaino’s desire to create a Sunday market at the former Bulleen drive-in site. It reveals that the site was owned by the Greek Orthodox Community of Melbourne and Victoria, and is not for sale. It also reveals how a main reason the drive-in site has been left untouched since closing is that Manningham Council feels the flood plain made it difficult to plan for use. The article is un-biased as it takes on a reporting style and not only voices the plans and opinions of Ferlaino about a Sunday market, but also that of the Greek Orthodox Community and the Manningham council on the site issue. The article as a whole is a good look at the issues currently surrounding the drive-in site, and highlights how sad it is that the once loved Hoyts Bulleen site has been left the way it is.
