DCA members took the opportunity to attend the “Meet the Candidates” night at Victoria Harbour on October 21, organised by the Docklands News – the candidates being for the forthcoming state election.

Questions were asked regarding their views and intentions on Docklands issues including such things as building height limits, parkland provision and ferry services.  One candidate complimented the DCA on its response to the council’s MSS future planning which was published in the Docklands News.

Community liaison representatives from VicUrban and council are meeting with myself on October 25 to review activities and to discuss planning matters.

We will continue to pass on to members information on outside activities such as those provided at the Hub and other places as they come to hand.

Welcome to our new members who have recently joined. Anybody else wishing to join is encouraged to contact Paige Jay on [email protected] who will be happy to assist.
