All residents at The Botanica can now get super fast internet via a company called Pineapple.Net
In combination with a wholesaler called Dgtek they have run fibre into the building and up to each floor. This is their offer
I’m personally using it and have been very happy. I have no interest and get nothing out of this personally.
Contact information is here
This is a great link that allows you to toggle back and forward on a map of Melbourne. It shows 1945 and today
You can zoom to the area near The Botanica
Here are some details of the building that is going on the old NAB bank site.
At around 11am on Thursday July 12,there will be a practice evacuation of the Metro Tunnel construction St Kilda Rd team.
A siren will sound for about one minute and then their staff will evacuate. Will take around 30 minutes.
I’m pleased they are making sure they are prepared for any problems

I have no connection at all with this sale but thought I’d post this link as people often ask me if there is anything available in our fabulous building.

As I indicated the other day, an independent company (DGTek) is running a new internet service to our building. I went into the details are here
This is a flyer detailing the offer. If you look at their web site you can see the rates that they charging local businesses…significantly higher
I expect that they will have the service operating within a few weeks – I’ll keep you posted
As part of my research on local parking, I decided to read the City of Port Phillip info. There was a lot that I didn’t know!!
This link has the details of types and costs. Party ones, moving in/out ones, temporary one – even one for tradies.
It is worth knowing that residents can apply for a ‘tradie’ parking permit. It costs $51 per week and are for a max of 4 weeks – but means your tradie doesn’t have to keep feeding a meter!!
BUT beware tradie permits have the same restrictions as visitor and residents permits – and you can’t park just anywhere…read the details and one big gotcha around here is you can only park in front of residential properties and the City of PP definition of residential is tough.
“Council defines a Residential property as being a property that is used 100% for residential purposes. Properties that have a mixed use (i.e. apartments on upper floors and a café/shop/business on ground floor) are not considered residential.”
Clearly that excludes most of St Kilda Rd and most of Bowen Cres!! Be careful
I’ll query this definition of ‘residential properties’ to the agenda for my regular meeting with City of PP. But for now I’d be very careful
