The Library Precinct Page on the Boroondara website now has links to plans and factsheet. See Boroondara site here.
According to the press release from the Mister for Roads and Ports: “Extended clearways are now in place across the City of Boroondara, including on High Street and Cotham Road in Kew, Toorak Road in Glen Iris, Riversdale Road and Burwood Road in Hawthorn, and Burke Road in Hawthorn East.”
Planning Minister Justin Madden today officially launched a brochure to mark the 120th anniversary of the Auburn Uniting Church Complex in Hawthorn. See Premier’s website for details.
A couple of items of interest are on the agenda for this upcoming meeting: Endorsement of the Draft Glenferrie Structure Plan for Community Consultation and the Assessment of the Burwood Road Heritage Precinct (up near Swinburne).
The meeting is on at the Camberwell Office in the Council Chamber 4 Inglesby Road, Camberwell on Monday 21 September 2009, commencing at 8.00pm (see the Boroondara website for details and the agenda).
The $9.85 million redevelopment of the area around the Glenferrie Library is set to go ahead after the council resolved to proceed with design plans for the project.
The new development will incorporate the Glenferrie Early Learning Centre and Manresa Kindergarten as well as accommodating Maternal and Child Health services, Peppercorn Senior Citizens Club, Hawthorn Community Education Centre, Occasional Care and Meals on Wheels.
The council is proposing a 5 star energy efficient two-story building for the site.
The Boroondara Council has a new website and with it a new searchable online planning register including a map and links to relevant documents. This is a huge improvement over the old excel spreadsheets, but really needs to go one step further and create an alert service so that residents can register their interest without having to manually check the website on a regular basis. Other councils have this facility and I am hoping that it is in the pipeline for Boroondara.
