They are there to explain, amongst other matters…
- Why the world’s ugliest scaffolding must remain for another 3 months
- Why the lower car park will be closed for an entire week
- Alternative safe parking arrangements
- Noise levels for impending works
- How access to and from lower car park to St Kilda Rd will work longer term
- Anything else you want to know
Please come along
Last week’s action
Wear your sunglasses at night

That’s right, when you exit the building at night now, you may need to wear your sunglasses. After more meetings that I care to think about, CYP have agreed that they cannot get sufficient numbers of their 28 solar powered lights to work…they have installed AC powered lights
The photo above is a night time shot!! The power is coming from our mains but CYP have agreed to pay that bill.
Thanks Kate Walshe for making this happen.
For those of you that are too young to understand the headline….watch this clip
Survey results
See attached a copy of the full survey results.
A number of issues have already been discussed with CYP – especially the need to wash the building.
Some building specific ones are being addressed, like use of balconies…more to come
Here is a comparison between this year and previous years
Thanks to everyone who took part, feedback welcome. Those who did not complete the survey are expected to pay for all lift rides next week…just kidding.
Lower car park CLOSURE

You should have something in your letterbox but be warned – the lower car park will be closed for an ENTIRE week from Monday May 27!!
I was as surprised as you probably are!
They have plans in place for Ace Parking and will be on site 4:30 pm on Wednesday May 22 to explain in detail

Breaking through a blinding layer from the guide walls. 10-15mins to get through. All done for this panel. Will be bad again in roughly 2-3h when they do the other half of the panel.
