Middleton Beach - Draft Council Management Plan. Our submission

The City of Albany recently released its Draft Management Plan for Middleton Beach for public comment, as we mentioned earlier.

The Middleton Beach Group submitted a response to the Council's plan ... well, Jane Mouritz did on our behalf - thanks Jane! Essentially our submission calls for a more proactive, coordinated approach from the City of Albany in mananging the precinct, with improved public consultation at all stages of the process, including a public planning session.

You can download a copy of the response here.

Let us know what you think by leaving a comment below.

Middleton Beach - Draft Council Management Plan

The City of Albany is just about to release its Middleton Beach Draft Council Management Plan for public comment.

At the time of posting this I couldn't find it on the City's Public Comment page on their website, but we expect it to go up any day now.

Download a PDF document of the plan and have a read - no doubt it'll be the subject of discussion at Thursday's meeting . So why not come along and let us know what you think, or leave a comment below.

...and by the way, it's well worth having a look at the City of Albany website link above from time to time. It's the way the Council does a lot of its public consultation now, and even has an email link to make your submissions direct to the City.

Middleton Beach Group September meeting

Who says you can't mix business with pleasure?


The MBG September meeting begins with a wonderful warm-up. The Ednas will share their musical memories of the Esplanade with us and a glass of wine at 6.30, before we get down to the meeting at 7pm.

A different venue for this meeting - the Middleton Beach Bowling Club (so don't go down to the Surf Club!) - and a different night too - Thursday 24th of September.

So come along, bring your ideas for the Middleton Beach precinct, and bring a friend!

Mother nature on our side?

In between raining cats and dogs (but not hotels) over the weekend, a
quick trip down to the beach showed that the fences around the
Esplanade site are coming down quicker than planned.

I wonder what will hapen now, and how long it will take? There's not
much footpath left!

Esplanade Site update

It seems like we're still no closer to seeing action of any sort at the Esplanade site... except perhaps for the cladding on the fence falling apart.

This article is from the Albany Weekender, 11th of June issue.

What do you think should happen to the Esplanade site? Do you believe there will ever be a new hotel at Middleton beach? Click on "COMMENTS" below, and have your two cents worth!

Next Meeting - Friday June 26
