Thanks for coming!

The committee was delighted with the number of residents who were able to attend the evening at FLO on the 19 November . We had a brief presentation from CYP re the chiller plants  and followed this with drinks and nibbles which was a terrific opportunity to catch up with each other and to meet new residents.

We intend to build on this with another evening in early February and hope those who were unable to attend can join us.

The Committee wished you all a safe and happy Christmas season

Car crash out the front

Amazing what the cameras pick up – love to understand what the offender was doing?? The Tesla driver had just parked and got rego details but a fake phone number. Reported to Police.

Poor your girl from RAV4 told me it looks like her car will be written off – can’t open / close door. Damage to front and back.

Heritage Victoria response on ugly hatch near driveway

I thought I’d formally ask Heritage Victoria their position on this ugly monstrosity that they had approved.

I received this reply

“We are of the view that the finish is appropriate and ties in with the finish of other service hatches and inset infrastructure associated with the project.  Consideration of other options took place with the conclusion being that a painted finish will raise additional maintenance issues and cladding the cover and surround in sawn bluestone or similar would increase the weight and visual presence of the access hatch. “

Mind boggling

Feel free to ask forclarification from the author. Her name is Nicole Smith and her email is Heritage.Victoria@transport.vic.gov.au

Funny story

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
