A full listing of those 1,620 photographs, a selection of 24 viewable on the screen, and an ordering form for sale of prints is now on our Vicnet Web Site. We have received eight orders to date, the largest being for 190 captioned prints. Funding to continue this monitoring is not available, but we are examining options. 

My 1998 AGM Report stated that the flights showed the eroded and anarchic state of much of Port Phillip's Bellarine Peninsula coastline, and that foreshore car parking is an issue that PPCC Inc. needs a specific and incisive written policy on, and that it needs to press for better outcomes on, right around Port Phillip. Your Committee toured the Geelong and Bellarine coastline last weekend with the President, Joan Lindros, and the Secretary, Carol Leibscher, of the Geelong Environment Council Inc. On site viewing, photographing, discussing and notetaking of sites of concern was a valuable re-inforcement of our Aerial Record. Our joint meeting on Saturday evening selected key proposals for informed joint action to be recommended to the May meeting of your Committee. In Queenscliff Joan Lindros briefed your Committee, on site, about a housing development right on the Queenscliff beach foredune that is part of the new marina that 'Bringing the Bay to Life' proposes to add to 'The Cut', and we discussed issues with Sue Wasterval, President of Swan Bay Environment Association, a former Member Organization of PPCC Inc. The Committee has begun its response to the foreshore car parking issue by placing a draft policy before this meeting. 

We are grateful for Alan Clark and Olwen Bawden having given considerable time to preparing for and attending, on behalf of PPCC Inc., the recent Panel Hearing of submissions on the Environment Effects Statement for a large marina and bay filling proposal in front of the cliff at Oliver's Hill, Frankston. Last week, Alan Clark and Len Warfe represented PPCC Inc. at our appeal to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal against the decision of the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to approve the placement of a rock groyne at the beach a short distance to the east of the existing rock revetment at the start of the Rye Pier. Our submission on the EES for a large 'Safe Boat Harbour' at the Blairgowrie Yacht Club was drafted by Alan Clark and appears on our Web site. We are watching major retrograde proposals being entertained by Bayside Council, a 'Tea House' at Hampton, and a restaurant on Green Point, Brighton, as these still threaten the northern coast of Bayside Municipality; and also Kingston Council's consideration of a request that the disused Parkdale Life Saving Club building be used for a kiosk business.
