Domain Station – Final(?) design

Leave a comment

Cross Yarra Partnership and MMRA have today released the draft design for the Domain Station.  It is out for 15 days for public comment.

We have a Committee meeting tomorrow to discuss, after that I will post more comments but generally it is very close to what we expected.

The draft plan is here

There is also an application with Heritage Victoria related to these works.  The full applications are here  (click on the St Kilda Rd sections).  Of most interest are the maps and details of tree removals near Botanica here and here.

In all cases you are most welcome to make a public submission.  The processes are documented on the relevant web sites.

MMRA – Community Reference Groups

Leave a comment

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.

Repairing cocky damage

1 Comment

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.

Our poor footpath

1 Comment

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??

Bowen Cres eastbound closed

Leave a comment

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.
