Structure Plan Briefings at June monthly meeting.

Bill — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 02:17:52 +0000

The Association has arranged for David Mayes and the Strategic Planning Team from the City of Melbourne to brief members and other interested residents on the contents of the two structure plans that affect our area. These are the City North Structure Plan and the Arden Macaulay Structure Plan. The meeting will be held at the Library at 7.30pm on June 21 with general business until 8.00pm when we can move into the larger upstairs library space for the briefing on the Structure Plans.

There have been a number of briefings already held but the Association believes that the implications of these Structure Plans for our suburb and community are so profound that we we need to work strongly on raising public awareness of their contents. They do not conform with our views about how the future of our local area should be managed and so we need to be clear on what is being recommended and what avenues are available to us to make inputs into their adoption process.

You can view the documents on the plans at the City of Melbourne website. Please use the following links.

We encourage all members to attend and please invite any other committed North and West Melbourne people who are interested in our future.

Meet the Candidates.

A very successful event was held in the Supper Room of the North Melbounrne Town Hall on Tuesday night. All seven candidates were in attendance and most questions were responded to by all. The attendance was around 150, which was anticipated by the Association which negotiated the larger space than the upstairs meeting room. We had the usual interjectors but there were some outstanding questions from a broad ranging audience, including many from Kensington.

August and September Meetings

Bill — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 06:46:07 +0000

We confirm the earlier advice that the August monthly meeting on Tuesday, the 17th at 7.30pm, in the library, will host a Meet the Candidates for the Federal election for the seat of Melbourne. Most of the candidates have accepted the invitation. Members are encouraged to bring neighbours and friends.

The minutes for the July Meeting will not be circulated until the September Meeting. The September meeting will also host Kate Greer from Climate Communities, Sustainability Victoria, as a speaker, to follow up on initiatives in the inner area of Melbourne and on the issues raised in the vertical gardens proposal, which was discussed at the July meeting.
