Hi Middleton Beach Group – Happy 2012!

Great photo of the Endeavour posted by Andrew Wenzel! Not many places can boast to have had this historic ship our its doorstep.

Just wait ti 2014 when all the Anzac fleet re-enactment happens – we will have front seat viewing! Wonder if we will still have the ‘sandpit’ to ‘showcase’ too?!?

Thanks to new MBG member Jane Singleton for taking up the blogspot training offer – good luck Jane S.

Soon there will be flyers about for our next MBG gathering – a bit of a catch up on local affairs, and socialising too. Bring new members and friends along to Ellen Cove at 5.00pm on Wednesday 15th February. BYO nibbles and drinks.

Please be encouraged to join the Frederickstown Progress Association for their first meeting of the year at the Boatshed from 5.30pm on Monday 13th February too.

Yours in community spirit

Jane Mouritz

Seems to me you guys are doing good things! Keep it up. Resist high rise at all costs… it’s absolutely imperative.

Hi Gordon and Sheryle
thank you for your comments re the Middleton Beach Plan – I will ensure that Jennifer Viol gets to read them, and also ask that City of Albany views such comments when/if they proceed with the completion of such a plan for the precinct.
Persoanlly I think there are better traffic calming options than speed humps but we will leave that to the ‘experts – suffice to say – more traffic calming is needed!
We have a meeting coming up on Tuesday 10th May at 5.00pm aty HYBLA – the seaside cottage next to Castlereagh on Flinders Parade – please come along…
Yours in community spirit

Unfortunately we have not been able to attend a Middleton Beach Group meeting as yet, however we have enjoyed reading ideas etc in the Precinct Planning Forum – Feedback.

We agree with retaining the Norfolk Island pines on the beachfront at all cost and would most certainly like to see a hotel or quality tavern with restaurant, alfresco, overlooking the beach with a tasteful beer garden to the rear allowing for music and a small dance floor.
Keeping the Beachfront soft with lots of open space and appropriate plantings ie grasses, shrubs and attractive shady trees that shed little or autumn only leaves. We like the mature peppermint trees but PLEASE NO MESSY INDIGENOUS TREES ie eucalypts and the like.

We would also like to see – A tennis court similiar to what was
behind the demolished Esplanade Hotel
– A beach pool
– More speed humps and continuing all the
way around Eyre Park to stop speeding
vehicles
– Dual cycle and walkway around Eyre Park
– More trees eg plane trees and
continuing these all the way
down Middleton Beach road to
roundabout opposite MB Caravan
Park to soften road
– Re-vamp area around and including
Calamaris.

Whilst we feel it is important to acknowledge our aboriginal cultural heritage it is also important to acknowledge all events to the present day and to plan for a modern, fresh, spacious and shady Middleton Beach precinct which includes places of play (children & adults), hotel/Tavern, cafes/dining, music, maybe a couple of shops ie newsagent, local giftware/art, accommodation and generally a place for relaxation with family and friends.

Comment on Middleton Beach Group October meeting by Jane Mouritz

Jane Mouritz — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 08:21:04 +0000

Hi Middleton Beach Group – please come along next Sunday evening 3rd October – with neighbours or other folk who are interested in Middleton Beach and the whole precinct. We have lots on the go – and need your input please….
HYBLA is the very old traditional seaside cottage adjacent to Castlereagh – it has a white picket fence with lots of parking out the front.
Barb Madden and I have been invited to meet with the City of Albany CEO and Executive Directors this week – we will report on the outcomes next Sunday too.
See you there at 5.00pm with refreshments if you wish.
Yours in community spirit Jane Mouritz
