Bowen Crescent will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday next week. Details are here.
MT-JH0605 – DM – Bowen Cres Traffic Update – DL[7161]
Note that driveway access for us will be maintained – you just need to be a little patient and wait for the traffic management person to move the barrier
I represent Botanica on the Metro Rail Community Reference group for the Domain Precinct. We have only had a couple of meetings and are still getting the processes working – but I am really pleased that they now have a web site that contains the minutes and presentations.
Meetings are held about every 6 weeks
The web site is here and you can see the documents for the Domain precinct and other precincts.
In London they have been expanding their rail tunnel system in recent years in an initiative called Crossrail. The techniques and processes (especially the stakeholder management ones) are held up as best practice. Some of the organisations and individuals are involved in Melbourne’s project
You may have seen guys abseiling on the Bowen Cres side of Botanica on Friday. As all residents would know, we have had a long standing battle with cockatoos and their sharp beaks. We are about to run a trial of some new harder material.
Last week they removed one section, next week they will install the new material.
Who would have thought that less than one week after our footpath was re-instated and re-surfaced, they have dug it up again…and have had to use their graffiti AGAIN. You’d think they could have checked what is under the asphalt when it was dug up??
I received this from MMRA…don’t think it was in the letterbox drop, not sure why??
On Monday and Tuesday Bowen Crescent eastbound lane will be closed adjacent your premise for gas works. The gas works contractor will ensure access to your driveway will be maintained and I have tool boxed our traffic controllers on their interaction with vehicles entering and exiting your building and ensuring support is provided.
I’ve only had a quick skim, but LOTS of good info in here. It will be tabled at tonight’s council meeting

If you are really keen you can watch tonight’s council meeting on your PC. Here is the link.
Some of you may not realise but both the captain (Trent Cotchin) and Shane Edwards lived at Botanica at one time.
Another Tiger captain, Kane Johnston also lived here.
Well done Tigers
As indicated last week, we will have no access in or out of our St Kilda Rd driveway between 9am – 4pm on Thursday October 5.
We also need to carry out some rollerdoor repairs and are trying to do both at the same time
Details are here
The sad state of our footpath will improve over the next 10 days. Next week they will backfill most of the trenches, leaving two smallish holes.
They are trying to re-instate our parking bays as soon as possible – my guess is the end of next week.
You should also be aware that there will be quite a lot of action in Bowen Cres over coming weeks.
We do NOT expect any driveway access issues in Bowen Cres – you may need to patiently wait for the traffic control to let you through.
