A number of you have raised the issue with the noise coming from generators in Bowen Lane for the Ramsay Clinic. The generators were an emergency installation following a major flood.

We received this update today

Hi Neighbours

I have an update on our power situation for you all. While not a final resolution date, we have made significant progress in approvals and planning since I was last in touch.

I know with the warm weather there has been an increase in the load on the generators and also the impact of the noise from doors and windows being open. You may recall that we had to decrease the acoustic blankets around the compound due to the heat leading to the generators overheating and failing. We are sorry for this ongoing noise but we are doing our best ot balance the stability of power for the hospital with the noise of the generators. We have had Worksafe out to review twice in the past 3 weeks and they have advised that the decibel readings are within acceptable levels and our emergency situation as a health care facility allows us to run them in this configuration. The decibel readings are all under 85 within the immediate vicinity of the generators, on the footpath and at the building boundary, which is where Worksafe took their readings from. 

I can advise that our new switchboard is now in build mode with the estimated build time 4-5 weeks. This means that we are busily planning to return the site to mains power supply as soon as the board is installed. At this point we are looking at a window in the 2 weeks post Easter, but a final date will not be known until we have a final build completion date for the switchboard itself and approval from Citipower to re-activate the sub-station. We have commenced work with Citipower already to expedite their works to enable us to switch across.

I will keep you all informed as we progress to a set date for the transition to occur but we are now well on the way to being able to remove the generators from site.

I am at a conference next week so will have intermittent access to email but please don’t hesitate to reply and I will do my best to respond in a timely manner.

Please share this information with your residents / neighbours as per my previous correspondence.

Thank you

All residents welcome

Please email Margaret on knurekmusic@gmail.com or let Reeve know.

I have spoken to the relevant people at City of Port Phillip about out of hours deliveries and early morning starts.

Their approved hours of work are

• Monday – Friday 7am – 6pm

• Saturday 9am – 5pm

• Sunday – no work

There should be nothing delivered out of hours.

You can ring the City of Port Phillip during the ‘out of hours’ times if necessary and follow the ’emergency’ prompt. They will then despatch some as soon as possible.

If not urgent – take photos / videos and report via CoPP web site.

It seems one lift is stuck at the basement level…please be patient

Some of you noticed that there seemed to be some noise from the vents/chillers during the recent hot days,

Jan hassled them and managed to get this reply

Hi Jan

We recently had a ‘tunnel blockade’, which means we stop train testing to allow workforce to access the tunnels to complete minor rectification works.
Due to this, the tunnel ventilation, over-track ventilation fans and chiller plant were all operating (at high capacity due to the heat) to provide fresh air to workforce in the tunnels and to cool the station.

Ventilation systems will not operate over the shutdown, which is until 14 January (CYP staff will return on 6 January). The chiller plant will continue to operate as required.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards, Dan

It has taken all this time to get them released. Please do not distribute further
