Port Projects for 2010

The council re-convenes tomorrow. These are some of the projects you have identified that I will be working with you and others to achieve:

• respond proactively to possible planning application for 1 - 11 Waterfront Place (currently occupied by Genesis gym) to achieve benefits for the Port Melbourne community
• ensure effective buffer arrangments are put in place between an expanding and intensifying Webb Dock and the Port Melbourne/Garden City community and improve uptake of Plummer St bypass
• get that toilet outside Coles open!
• work towards the Liardet St family and children's centre
• complete Garden City Reserve landscape and playspace improvements
• implement the final stage of the Sandridge Beach masterplan including pathways and lighting
• implement recommendations from the Perce White Reserve masterplan
• secure commitment for funding streetscape works in the Rouse St (west) precinct
• begin working with the community reference committee on the urban design framework process for the Port Melbourne waterfront to plan for long term improvements to this significant place
• work with the community of Murphy's Reserve on future directions to achieve improvements
• deliver the new facility at North Port Oval and refurbish the Goss grandstand
• achieve raised pedestrian crossings at Poolman/Clark for children going to and from Port Melbourne Primary
• rehabilitate degraded turf areas in the Railway Reserves
• get options on the table for the Bay/Liardet intersection
• a 40 km speed limit for Bay St
• complete the asset handover of Beacon Cove to the City of Port Phillip. This includes the Promenade. A measure of success would be to get bins on the Promenade
• transfer planning control for Beacon Cove (residential areas) to Port Phillip
• significantly strengthen our tourism effort at Station Pier
• work with Parks Victoria to implement the boating zone review recommendations to manage jetskis, especially at Sandridge

I have deliberately not prioritised these projects as each one is significant to the community closest to it.

Is there something that is very important to you that I have left off this list?
