OUR MONTHLY NEWSLETTER
Newsletter November 2020
Warm greetings to all community members
As we all begin to breathe a sigh of relief from the hard lockdown, we at the Kensington Association wish everyone the very best in rebuilding a sense of ‘control’ and ‘connection’ over those areas where they were lost – or were felt to be lost.
As far as this Newsletter is concerned I’ve sent out a number of single issue posts – Flyer of Hope, Community Alert, and the most recently an announcement that Carolyn Webster our wonderful Kensington Neighbourhood House Manager is moving on to other pastures; a call out to the community to see if there might be a community member who might be interested in taking on that very important role.
Interestingly, I have also received feedback that some readers like such single-issue Newsletters! I wonder if that is indicative of the busy-ness of our lives!? Too much info, too much to read, information overload, involvement overreach!?
This Newsletter will be brief, so hang in there and finish reading! Five news-bites.
- Younghusband development in Elizabeth St (if you remember was suspended from Covid) are sharing their plans for a Stage 2 development with Kensington Association executive on Thursday at 6pm via Zoom.
- The Association will be working together with Ellen Sandell and other community groups for a more substantial update to South Kensington station. Watch this space!
- Congratulations to our local councillor Rohan Leppert on being re-elected to the Melbourne City Council. He will be joined by a second Greens councillor, Olivia Ball. Congratulation to her also. All the best to Kensington’s Cathy Oke who has retired from Council at this election; we wish her all the best! Congratulations also to Sally Capp on being returned as Lord Mayor.
- The Hyperlocal News group, (who publish the monthly ‘CBD News, Dockland News, and Southbank News) are planning to publish a North West edition of their paper. They are having discussions with Flem-Ken News and North & West Melbourne News.
- The Association held its AGM in October with Ellen Sandell as visitor. We elected office holders for 2020=21 – Chairperson: Simon Harvey, Secretary: Maritza Araneda, and Treasurer: Tony Ceddia.
