General Business & Reports
Visitors
· No visitors for September meeting.
Treasurer’s Report
· No significant transactions (inflows or outflows) of note.
· Inflows consisted of memberships received $200.
· Outflows consisted of $512 for insurance and $35 for monthly storage.
· The Association will apply for CoM Admin grant, which has increased to $2,000 (previously $1,500). The increase is welcomed as the previous grant didn’t cover all operating costs, which totalled approximately $1,770. Application closes on 13th September.
· Treasurer enquired as to whether we were aware of additional costs that we should include in the application. It was agreed that we would include an estimate for expected future covid related costs.
Membership Secretary’s Report
· Approximately 70% of existing members have renewed their membership, with about two-third of renewals using the new credit card facility which had facilitated the process.
Melbourne Metro Rail Project (“MMRP”) Report – Therese F
· No significant updates and we were waiting on another public meeting.
· Therese explained that it was clear that they were running late on Childers Road reopening.
· Noise continues to be a challenge as hammering continued.
PCCC – Therese
· Next meeting will be this Friday and as such, no updates.
· Main part of the meeting will be focused on how best to manage covid with public and police force.
Moonee Ponds Creek report
· John’s report was tabled.
· A number of matters were raised in his report:
– Bamboo stakes (used for plantings) had been removed, which was an issue
– Whilst it was positive to see cyclists, it was unsafe at times as there was no separate path for them or pedestrians.
· Creek bed is managed by Melbourne Water, whilst Vic Track manages the green lands, which means that there is no consistent approach
West Gate Tunnel Project – Fran
· Will be moved to next meeting as Fran was an apology for this meeting.
Kensington Community Network – Simon H
