On Monday evening Warren and I attended the Boroondara Council meeting where the issue of the future of the Hamer Court lease was dealt with. Councilors unanimously voted in favor of accepting Council officers recommendation that they be allowed to finalize the lease with the Dept. It was all very straightforward – but still very gratifying to see all the hands be raised!
If we are not quite ‘done and dusted’ we are most certainly well on the way! When all signed, sealed and delivered the new lease will take us from 1/7/2015 thru 30/6/2020.
BTW – if anyone wants to see a meeting run with chilling efficiency I suggest you go to a Council meeting. They are brutal affairs!!
Great news Matt, not only for Servants, but our residents.
Good to hear, Matt!
Let’s chat soon about Run Melbourne:)
Excellent news on the Hamer Court lease. We should be proud to be associated with the former Victorian Premier. As Tim Colebatch’s excellent recent biography makes clear, Hamer was a very impressive person, with progressive social ideas and a real concern for the underprivileged, even though he came from a most privileged background.
