Heavyweight panel to talk Montague

Heavyweight panel to talk Montague
Sean Car

Member for Albert Park Martin Foley, Liberal Shadow Minister for Planning David Davis and the leader of the Victorian Greens Party Samantha Ratnam will make up the next Montague Community Forum panel.

To be held at the Golden Fleece Hotel (cnr of Montague and Buckhurst streets, South Melbourne) on Tuesday, March 20, the first community forum of 2018 will discuss planning matters relating to Fishermans Bend and Montague.

Initiated by the Montague Community Alliance (MCA) and sponsored by Southbank Local News, the free community forums provide locals with the opportunity to quiz leaders on issues affecting Montague.

With the natural focus centred on current and future residents and businesses of Montague, each panelist will be given five minutes to share their party’s vision before the forum is put to question and answer.

With the State Government’s Fishermans Bend Framework released late last year and Minister for Planning Richard Wynne’s recent freeze on development (read story on page 7), the forum presents a timely opportunity for locals to raise their issues with leaders ahead of November’s state election.

Montague Community Alliance convener Trisha Avery will moderate the forum, which will run from 6pm to 7.30pm. The forums are informal in nature and designed for the community to come together for a discussion. Locals are encouraged to stick around after the forum for a drink or meal and network with politicians and other locals.
