Save
Ivanhoe
Ivanhoe represents a remarkable piece
of Melbourne history and in keeping with its historic architecture
of periods from Edwardian to Victorian, Council needs to
consider architecture that is in keeping with and complimentary to
Ivanhoe's history, specifically with regards to building height and
appearance.
Save Ivanhoe is a residents
group concerned with the draft Ivanhoe Structure Plan that was
released by the City of Banyule in July 2011

Occupy the Airport
ANYONE caught the SmartBus service
from Frankston to Melbourne Airport? It takes a long time but it
saves a huge amount of money. The odd thing is where it terminates.
Not at the airport but in a remote street in the freight park.
Why?
As a tragic for a good conspiracy
theory, I suspect it is to deter cheap access. We have watched with
dismay the erection of crash barriers on the freeway and the
reinforcing of the No Standing signs at 50-metre intervals. Will
the airport next lock up kilometres of kerb space around Greenvale
and Airport West?
Why would a publicly funded bus
service finish so far from Qantas that older passengers like me
(the most likely users) are deterred from dragging their suitcase
on a long hike? No wonder I was the only passenger. Or is it all
linked with predatory capitalism? After all, the airport is owned
by a bank. Anyone for an Occupy the Airport movement?
