The City of Melbourne has said it will fix errors in its property lease register after Docklands News recently brought mistakes to its attention.

Three Docklands properties are appear on its register as leased to Waterfront City 1a R & C Pty Ltd, a former ING Real Estate-related entity, which ceased trading and was deregistered more than three years ago.

Waterfront City 1a R & C may have been the lessee for one of the three properties, but was never involved with the other two.

Waterfront City 1a R & C leased the Pleasure Cruising Club office at the old Waterfront City Piazza from VicUrban (now Places Victoria) sometime before 2007, when the area was passed through to the City of Melbourne.

Pleasure Cruising Club bought a 99-year lease from Waterfront City 1a R & C Pty before 2007, but this is yet to be reflected on the council’s lease register.

The other two properties are the pavilions operated by The Harbour Kitchen and Watermark on Victoria Harbour Promenade.  These properties have never had an association with Waterfront City 1a R & C.

The errors are also contained within the council’s draft Annual Plan and Budget 2016-2017.
