The Association has arranged for David Mayes and the Strategic Planning Team from the City of Melbourne to brief members and other interested residents on the contents of the two structure plans that affect our area. These are the City North Structure Plan and the Arden Macaulay Structure Plan. The meeting will be held at the Library at 7.30pm on June 21 with general business until 8.00pm when we can move into the larger upstairs library space for the briefing on the Structure Plans.

Meet the Candidates.
A very successful event was held in the Supper Room of the North Melbounrne Town Hall on Tuesday night. All seven candidates were in attendance and most questions were responded to by all. The attendance was around 150, which was anticipated by the Association which negotiated the larger space than the upstairs meeting room. We had the usual interjectors but there were some outstanding questions from a broad ranging audience, including many from Kensington.

TPM-2010-15 Zagame – Corner Roden and King through to Stanley Street.
West Melbourne has been jolted into the reality of planning politics in the twenty-first century with official support for the ten storey development on the Zagame site in King Street by both the State Government and the Melbourne City Council.
