Please be aware it has been removed to have a new battery fitted, we will let you know when it is operational again

PRIVILEGED PRE PROMOTION 

The Botanica is an amazing building. It feels like a vertical residential street. Rather than talking over a fence, people stop to have a chat in the corridor, in the carpark and a quick hello in the lift. It has a very high walkability score and with the impending opening of the Anzac Station, people will ‘clamour’ to get in and pay a high price to do so.

Its unique European boutique style complemented by excellent management makes it stand out from high rise, soulless towers.

Before we go to an open market campaign, we are doing the neighbourly thing and letting residents know we are selling Unit 203. 

It would be nice to ‘keep it in the Botanica family.’ If you, a friend or a family member are wanting the first opportunity to view this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom front facing apartment – before our marketing campaign is finalised – please let Sandra Makris know on 0427888258. We will then coordinate an inspection via our Agent.

The painting contractors have raised an issue that I need to bring to your attention. It seems that a number of residents are asking the guys on the ropes some questions about the status and timing of the work.

They have raised it as a potential safety issue.

I have made it very clear that we are all sick of the poor communications and that is likely to be why they are getting questions.

Please avoid distracting the guys.

It seems like years of hassling them has finally worked and we will have driveway access via a Traffic Controller this year. I’m not sure you will be able to get IN but you will be able to get OUT

The event is Sunday Oct 12

Expects some hassles but best plan we’ve had.

After almost a year of hassling, Citipower has connected the street lights in the middle of St Kilda Rd, near Bowen Cres.

I personally know of 3 accidents between cars and cyclists on the corner, lights will help…but turn with care

Reeve has resigned and this week will be his last.

He has resigned from the company that provides the service to us and he will be pursuing an opportunity within his family business.

A handover will occur this week to another staff member and a permanent replacement will be onsite in the coming weeks.

I’d like to thank Reeve for his work with us and wish him well.

Please come and chat with your neighbours over a free drink and nibbles.

We will also have our local council representative there to chat about things happening in the City of Port Phillip.

It’s a great opportunity to explain how much you love our ‘water sensitive urban design garden’ out the front, or how you’ve noticed that the food delivery scooters are politely sharing our footpath or maybe you’d like to congratulate the City of Port Phillip on the lovely changes they are making in Park St 😉

Beti Jay is our rep and she lives in Park St. She understands our pain but it would be good if she hears it politely from more than just me.

PLEASE make an effort to come along

Thursday 29th May 6pm – 8pm

Flo’s 412 St Kilda Road

Dear Neighbors,

I hope this email finds you well. I am pleased to be writing with good news today. The process to begin our transition back to mains power has begun with an expected cessation of use of the large generators on April 25th. The plan to transition the Clinic back to mains power has the following steps:

• The Clinic will ramp down patient numbers to a minimum next week, with the majority of the Clinic shutting from Friday April 25th.
• We will be utilising 2 small generators onsite within the clinic grounds to power one ward and essential services during the closure. These are similar small generators to the initial period of the flood, which did not cause a major disturbance to the surrounding buildings.
• Over the course of the weekend we will have a significant number of trades onsite preparing and commissioning the new switchboard.
• CitiPower are booked to re-energise the switchboard on Monday 28 April
• We will see patients readmitted and normal work at the Clinic resume on Monday.

There is not expected to be any further generator noise after the main compound is switched off mid morning on the 25th. We will have some minor traffic disruption in Bowen Lane when we move the generators and fuel tanks – the date for this is not finalised but I will advise when it is confirmed, we expect it to be completed before the Clinic reopens on Monday 28 April.

Please note that with the weather expected to change over the Easter weekend, we have booked the generator company to attend site to rehang the acoustic curtains on Saturday. They should remain in place until the generators are switched off on Friday according to the current weather forecast.

While we understand that the generators have caused inconvenience for you and the residents of your buildings, we do thank you for your willingness to work with us as we navigated this complex and unexpected situation. We have continued to be able to serve our community in providing essential mental health care through keeping the Clinic operational during this time.

I hope you all enjoy your Easter.

Thank you once again for your patience and support.

Regards,

Petra Glare
CEO
