Dear BCNA Member

 

No doubt you have heard of the Fishermans Bend development at the north western boundary of Port Melbourne. The State Government is planning to create a high density development with up to 25,000 jobs and 50,000 residents. Next Sunday you will have the opportunity to participate in a forum on the way in which this area will be developed and how planning will be made for community spaces and facilities. The forum is being arranged by Community Alliance of Port Phillip and is supported by BCNA.

3207 BeachPatrol Next Beach Clean Saturday 6 July

3207 BeachPatrol
Next Beach Clean
Sandridge Beach
Saturday 6 July 9 am
Meet at Sandridge Life Saving Club


Message from 3207 BeachPatrol

Hello again.

Our next beach clean is Saturday 6th July at Sandridge Beach.  (Yep I didn't get it all last week!).   9am for 1 hour.   Meet at the Life saving club.    Then the regular coffee and chat afterwards at Spuntinos.

We'll have the bags.  Bring your own gloves if you prefer to use them.

Our fearless leader Tom is away for this and the next clean.

One thing we have been asked about is could we do an impromptu clean whenever a storm as gone through and dumped a lot of trash on the beach. Such as 2 weeks ago.  It would be the next weekend after the storm event.   These would be additional cleans in addition to our once a month clean unless it coincided with a monthly date.   What are your thoughts?

See you Sat.

	Your invitation to the Port Capacity Design and Specification workshops   As part of the Port Capacity Project to redevelop Webb Dock, an extensive buffer program has been developed to revitalise the Port’s buffer areas that separate the port operations at Webb Dock from the expanding city and nearby communities.   Last year, a number of ‘conversation starter’ design concepts were released to gain feedback about what could be included in the buffers. The results were summarised and presented in a report titled Phase 1: Design Brief Feedback and was used by our designers to create the preliminary designs.   Since then, we’ve worked hard to incorporate more of your suggestions into the updated designs. Now, before we finalise the designs we would like to invite you to attend a workshop with our Project Team.   Williamstown Sailing Club, The Strand (opposite Stevedore St), Williamstown Wed 12 June, 6pm - 7.30pm Sat 15 June, 10am - 11.30am Tues 18 June, 6pm - 7.30pm Sat 22 June, 2pm - 3.30pm Life Saving Victoria, 200 The Boulevard, Port Melbourne Wed 5 June, 6pm - 7.30pm Sat 15 June, 2pm - 3.30pm Wed 19 June, 6pm - 7.30pm Sat 22 June, 10am - 11.30am To see the current designs or RSVP to attend a workshop click here.   We hope to see you at the workshops!

Reminder - Submissions Due Port Melbourne Waterfront Urban Design Framework

Port Melbourne Waterfront Urban Design Framework
City of Port Phillip
Reminder - Submissions Due 1st June 2013

As advised on the13th May via an email from the Secretary, BCNA, the closing date for Council acceptances of submissions on the draft CoPP Port Melbourne Waterfront Urban Design Framework (as approved for consultation) is nominally 1st June 2013.

Our BCNA President has consulted with Council officers and received assurance that CoPP will consider submissions received subsequent to this date. Sooner rather than later would be wise as we have no indication as to how long this extension will apply.

 

Note that this Framework includes Beacon Cove Promenade, Princes Pier and the Bay and Beach Street Hub, but excludes privately owned property e.g. 1- 7 Waterfront Place, there being a quite separate process for establishment of CoPP's position in relation to this area.

Those who have previously forwarded submission to Council on the Port Melbourne Waterfront UDF (which then included 1- 7 Waterfront Place) will need to resubmit for this latest round

That is, you may wish to prepare a new submission or resubmit previous correspondence deleting reference to 1 - 7 Waterfront Place or resubmit previous correspondence acknowledging to Council that you are aware that references to 1-7 Waterfront Place are not directly relevant to the current consultation process.

 

Click here to go the CoPP website page with full details of the 2013 framework and see further down the page on how you can make a submission.

Extract from CoPP website page with links....

Exhibition: The Borough and Its People: Port Melbourne 1839 to 1939

Exhibition

The Borough and Its People: Port Melbourne 1839 to 1939 - the book and the exhibition

Exhibition closes on Friday 31 May 2013

Foyer/Gallery at Port Melbourne Town Hall

333 Bay Street

 

Interested in the history of Port Melbourne?  Find out more and visit the exhibition this week.

Port Melbourne residents, Graham and Margaret Bride, have written an accessible, illustrated history of Port Melbourne from the year Liardet stepped ashore at 'the beach' in 1839 to the eve of the second World War. 

There 'is something for everyone' in this publication as Professor Weston Bate said in launching the book.

The book is supported by an exhibition of a very high standard in the foyer/gallery of the Port Melbourne Town Hall at 333 Bay St. The exhibition is laid out according to the chapter headings of the book. If you haven't got the time to read the book, you can get an excellent overview of it from the exhibition. It closes on Friday.

The book is available from the newsagent and the Port Melbourne Town Hall Assist desk
