Metro Rail coming to the AGM
I can confirm that we will have reps from Metro Rail at the AGM on Tuesday September 12.
All the details are yet to be confirmed but it will be a short walk from here at start at around 6pm.
Love to see you there
Myki – Something I didn’t know
I’ve recently ‘upgraded’ to a Seniors Myki, which meant I did some reading on the Myki site. I discovered this gem…
Why does the information displayed on the reader vanish too quickly for me to read it?
The information showing your card balance, and the amount deducted for your journey, will be displayed for as long as you hold your card to the reader, so hold it up for longer if you want to check that information.
So hold your Myki on the reader and WAIT…it stays on the display. Of course its not a great idea to do this in busy times. Give it a go
Update on footpath work
Here is the official update on the footpath work out The Botanica.
MMEW-JHG-DM-NTF-STK-0074_DL – Communications Works Update_V1
This means the driveway is OK tomorrow and car parking out the front should be back to ‘normal’
Gas works in Bowen Cres from Friday
See attached the formal notice for this work that starts on Friday
MMEW-JHG-DM-NTF-STK-0070_DL – Bowen Cr Gas_FNL
Non residents of Botanica heading eastwards in Bowen Cres are to be diverted, you will simply need to talk to the traffic people to be let through
The disabled bay near our Bowen Cres carpark will be kept available – you may need to ask the traffic person on duty for help if you need it (and no-one else is parked in it)
Car park work postponed
We have just been notified that the work will NOT occur tomorrow. Access in and out of the lower car park will be normal tomorrow – no need to move your car
Apologies for late notice – I believe that something is being placed on cars in car park too
Once we have another date, we will let you know
Carpark access limited TOMORROW
There will be no access in and out of the lower car park tomorrow (Thursday) between 9am and 3pm.
Letterbox keys
By the end of today all letterbox keys will have been changed. The new system is much more secure.
You need to see Paul and sign for your two new keys. Without a new key you cannot get your mail.
If you can’t see him during his normal hours, contact him and make alternative arrangements.
His phone is 0467 444 074, his email is Botanica400@tpg.com.au
Save the date – September 12
I know that many of you are hanging out for the big event of 2017 – The Botanica AGM!! Details on the venue are a tightly kept secret but it will be good.
In the next 12 months the Metro Rail project will have a big impact on us all, come and find out the latest news.
LOTs happening
Just a quick summary of things happening around Botanica.
Metro Rail prep
- The footpath will be ‘out of bounds’ from tomorrow while they start moving cables /services under the footpath. They need to move these cables closer to our building to make room for the new train station!
- The driveway from the lower car park on to St Kilda Rd will be closed from 9am – 3pm on Thursday August 10
- Gas works will be occurring in Bowen Cres but should not restrict driveway access
- The Botanica will be getting a new gas meter. The one in the lower car park will be replaced by one neatly(?) tucked in the garden on the right hand side of the upper car park.
“Normal” building works
- As you should know, the letterbox access upgrade is underway today.
- The intercom upgrade will happen later this month, currently planned for August 23-24. More notice closer to that date
