Bei Loon Dragon Boat Club will be conducting our annual series of races
on Saturday 28 November 2015 between 1215 and 1730.
There will be 4 races of approximately 8km distance starting from the
Rowland Reserve Bay where we store our boats and, depending upon
weather conditions, either racing
clockwise around Scotland Island and back, or to McCarrs Creek and back.
Both courses will use the Church Point Channel marker as a key
reference point both outgoing and upon return.
There will be 4 races starting around 80 mins apart with 4 in each
race. The boats will start some 30 seconds apart.
We have obtained an Aquatic Licence, Council Approval and have also
notified Marine Rescue.
We will have 2 safety boats accompanying each race. All Sweeps are
experienced and will be wearing Hi Vis vests. Sweeps will be fully
briefed before each race.
Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to
get in touch.

'Drop in' to have
your say on Mona Vale's future
'Open House'
Saturday 28 November
between 10am and 2pm at Mona Vale Memorial Hall.
Pittwater Council is
seeking further community feedback on the future of Mona Vale Town
Centre.
General Manager Mark Ferguson said an ‘open house’ will be held on
Saturday 28 November between 10am and 2pm at Mona Vale Memorial Hall.
“This is a continuation of the conversation we have been having with
residents and business throughout the year that saw a series of urban
talks, workshops and interactive activities around the Mona Vale Place
Plan.
Mr Ferguson said he was delighted with the level of interest so far,
with close to 1,300 comments from the community and business received
to date.
“We are now keen for residents and local businesses to have their say
specifically on the topic of access and linkages around the Mona Vale
Town Centre.
“Part of our vision for Mona Vale is to enhance access and linkages
around the centre that encourage more active transport, namely walking
and cycling,” said Mr Ferguson.
Experts will be on hand to discuss the issues of:
- traffic flow and parking
- pedestrian, mobility and access
- improving cycling in and around the town centre
- the B-Line bus network.
“We are particularly pleased that representatives from Transport for
NSW will join us to discuss the proposed B-line bus network that will
bring Bus Rapid Transit to the northern beaches,” he said.
Mr Ferguson said if residents were unable to attend the ‘open day’
there were also opportunities to have their say by completing a Traffic
and Parking Survey and a Walk Mona Vale Survey by visiting
www.pittwater.nsw.gov.au/yoursay
“These surveys will help Council better understand how local residents
travel to Mona Vale Town Centre, where they park (if they drive),
public transport usage and pedestrian access,” Mr Ferguson added.

Have your say on
traffic and parking around
Mona Vale
Pittwater Council is inviting residents and
local business to have their say on traffic and parking around Mona
Vale.
General Manager Mark Ferguson said the community can have their say by
completing a quick online survey about how they travel and park in and
around Mona Vale Town Centre.
“The study will help Council better understand how local residents
travel to Mona Vale Town Centre, where they park (if they drive) and
their public transport usage,” said Mr Ferguson.
Mr Ferguson said the survey forms just one aspect of the Mona Vale
place planning process that will help develop a vision and plan that
will guide future sustainable improvements for the town centre.
“Earlier this year we ran a series of urban talks, workshops and
interactive activities around the Mona Vale Place Plan.
“We were delighted with the level of interest, with close to 1,300
community comments received over the engagement period.
“The Imagine Mona Vale – Engagement Summary report provides an overview
of the feedback from the various engagement activities undertaken to
date. Key themes explored included improving the pedestrian experience,
with wider footpaths and better access to public transport and
connectivity to the beach.
“Feedback included a desire for an improved pedestrian-focus for the
town centre, especially on key retail streets such as Bungan Street,
Park Street and Pittwater Road.
“Part of our vision for Mona Vale is to enhance access and linkages
around the centre that encourage more active transport, namely walking
and cycling.
The Traffic and Parking survey forms part of the overall place planning
process providing us with vital data to develop a strategy for the
centre,” added Mr Ferguson.
