Esplanade man quits

The man responsible for the Harbour Esplanade redevelopment has quit.

VicUrban’s Docklands infrastructure director Nic Culnane resigned before Easter and worked his last day on May 6.

The first stage of the redevelopment is due to be completed this month, with a series of remedial works being the focus.

A second row of Norfolk Island Pines is being planted on the western side of the new dedicated bike path.

The easterly section of old tram tracks have been removed to make way for the new trees.  VicUrban plans to “make safe” the remaining area, which will not be redeveloped until the next stages are determined.

And in other personnel news, former VicUrban CEO Pru Sanderson has been appointed to a senior position with international consulting giant GHD.
