As many of you know, I have cameras on my balcony streaming live on YouTube. They were there to monitor the Anzac Station build but are still regularly used by various authorities (eg City of Port Phillip)

YouTube wrote to me today telling me that I had breached copyright by broadcasting copyrighted music. It took me a moment to realise that they had picked up last night’s ‘concert’ from the Gardens.

I hope you enjoyed it – quite a few more nights of it to come

I know that a lot of you are interested / concerned about the massive chiller plants in front of our building. We have arranged for CYP to bring their expert along to tell us all about them.

• Are they safe?
• Will we get Legionnaires from them?
• How noisy will they be?
• What is emitted from them??

Lock in Tuesday November 19 starting at 530pm

All Botanica residents are welcome, you don’t have to be an owner.

More details to come but we will also put on some drinks and nibbles after the talk.

After a number of emails and a late evening call – they now agree that they need to do something!!

They will have a traffic controller for our driveway BUT the driveway will not be usable for part of the morning

• Peak Runner Flow exiting the City is 7.00am – 8.45am – no Exit could happen during this time as runners are on the road
• Peak runner Flow returning to the City – 8.45am – 11.30am – exit would be possible under direction with runner flow
• Road re opens at 12.00noon

I know it is not great but better than every other year!!

We had someone try and buzz in to Level 1 at 9pm last night. He tried again several times around 5-6am. This is his photo

He has managed to get into the lobby and Mouad (Reeve fill-in) handled him very well and got him out of the building. He clearly thinks that his friend lives here but Mouad checked the name – no-one of that name is here.

Mouad also called the South Melb Police and they weren’t interested unless the guy was trying to break in – then call 000.

Be careful and don’t let people in
