JACKSONS LANDING - WHAT’S ON
May 2015
www.jacksonslanding.net.au
MANAGE MEANT STAYS ON
The Community Association has decided to extend our estate manager Manage Meant
for another 12 months. The tender process for a new contract has struck some
technical problems, so it is on hold while we sort out the outstanding issues.
The feedback from residents has been very positive, and we expect that to continue.
Each strata committee will need to terminate their existing contract and sign up to a
new agreement currently being negotiated by the Community Association.
More news will be provided here and on the JL website as the situation evolves.
MUSIC FLOWS IN PYRMONT
Following the success
of the Swing Night
which raised $2048 for
Pyrmont
Cares,
another
fundraising
concert is planned for
Saturday 13 June.
Julie Blewitt, a Reflections resident, is organising a fun
performance of two choirs - Cantrice and Southland.
Cantrice is an ensemble of 12
women, formed by Julie in
1980. They sing a wide range
from madrigals and folk songs
to the Beatles and Billy Joel.
Southland, a larger mixed choir, came together to
perform at European choral festivals; they sing
Australian compositions as well as more familiar music.
The concert will be at the
Pyrmont Community Centre
on Saturday 13 June at 2pm.
Tickets are $25 (at door),
children under 12 free, afternoon tea included. All
proceeds to Pyrmont Cares. Enquiries Julie 9518 6169
Soloists
from
the
Australian Brandenburg
Orchestra will perform at
the Pyrmont Community
Centre on Friday 29 May at
Perfomance at Ultimo
Community Centre
5pm. This is part of their new
community outreach initiative to take their music out of
the concert hall and into local communities. Everyone is
welcome, especially if you haven’t experienced baroque
music before. And they will show and
explain their instruments, as well as
playing beautiful music.
Pyrmont Sings! will perform at the
Pyrmont Festival of Wine, Food, and
Art at 4pm on Sunday 17 May.
WILD WEATHER HITS
Last week’s wild weather struck
the old tree in front of Tablet House
in Refinery Square, splitting the
trunk and undermining the base.
Sadly it will have to be removed;
fortunately no-one was hurt.
REVIEW OF COMMUNITY
MANAGEMENT STATEMENT
The Community Management Statement (CMS) is
the set of by-laws that govern Jacksons Landing.
Now that the estate is complete, the Community
Association is reviewing the CMS, to ensure that it is
up-to-date and meets our current needs.
Strata committees will be asked to comment, and
interested residents should contact their committee
with their suggestions. The current CMS can be
downloaded from the website - jacksonslanding.net.
au/about-jacksons-landing/community-association/
- and the draft revision will be posted there soon.
Decisions will be made at the Community Association
General Meeting on
Thursday 11 June,
which all owners are
welcome to attend.
Strata committees will also review their own bylaws, for decision at their AGMs later in the year.
BAYS PRECINCT SUMMIT
The Bays Precinct Sydneysiders Summit, on
Saturday 16 May and Sunday 17 May, is open to
everyone, and is being held to enable all Sydneysiders
to contribute to the transformation of The Bays
Precinct. There will be a series of short talks,
‘discovery’ displays and consultation exercises
staggered throughout the day, and the program will
be the same on both days.
There is some concern that this will be a “show and
tell”, rather than genuine consultation about what the
community wants to see in the redevelopment of the
Bays. Hopefully many people will attend, and express
their clear views about the potential, especially for
public open space and recreation facilities, as well
as the necessary residential and commercial
developments, to keep the harbour foreshore lively
and active day and evening, throughout the year.
