A plea from MBG!
The MBG is holding a Future Planning forum, which is tentatively scheduled for Friday 19th November from 9.00am to 1.00pm at Middleton Beach Bowling Club.
But for the event to be a success, we need your help to find some donations towards the planning forum.
We have received a generous personal donation of $5000.00 towards the style and design planning for MBG precinct – very exciting!
And Frederickstown Progress Association is assisting with venue hire and financial management – thank you!
But we need additional funds ($7000 or so) in order to get the best use of our landscape architect and the workshop, enable a site analysis and a choice of designs to be prepared before-hand, and to cover post workshop summary that will give a a shared plan for future projects by City of Albany and others.
Please make donations to Frederickstown Progress Association PO 1033 ALBANY 6331, and also let Jane Mouritz know you are donating. Click here to send her an email.
If you can suggest a corporate donor then let Jane know so a written request can be sent.
Alternatively, if you are keener to contribute to the Public Arts Scultpures project, then that will also be gratefully received – send to FPA as above but specify ‘MBG Scultpures’. Kim Buttfield had a disappointing response to her preliminary application for funds, so we are going to have to be ‘creative’ to make progress there too……
Any ideas? Please leave a comment below.
would like to see more precinct type development, shade on beach eg natural brush type shelters,rubber footpaths, car parks further back from beach, more sheltered picnic areas on grass,
Hi Mandy – some of your suggestions have been included in the Concept style and design plan prepared by Landscape Arechitect Jen Viol and presented to our public forum in January 2011.
You are welcome to come to the next MBG gathering which will be on Sunday 10th April from 5-7.00pm at HYBLA in Flinders Parade Middleton Beach. Hope to see you there.
Yours in community spirit
Jane Mouritz
