Plan OK for sure, but not all happy
THE long-awaited landscape strategy and concept plan for the Rye foreshore was approved last week, but not before being changed to make it more acceptable to councillors.
Deputy mayor Cr Sarah Race, whose Nepean Ward includes Rye, successfully added that a car park be retained west of the pier and that the rock wall be included in the promenade design to maintain the historical alliance with Napier Street, or its materials be used elsewhere in the redevelopment.
Also in her amendments were that all-abilities play equipment be included, with a path connecting the Scout Hall car park and playground; the events and markets area receives three-phase power; that indigenous vegetation be planted, and that vegetation and boardwalks highlight the view line, and preserve the natural environment.
Neindorf salutes for first time at Flemington Share
HORSE RACING
APPRENTICE jockey Lachlan Neindorf has landed his first winner at Flemington in sensational fashion aboard $126-pop Romancer on Saturday 22 May.
The Mornington-based apprentice took the Grahame Begg-trained gelding back towards the rear of the field in the 1200m straight race before unleashing his run along the inside. He put a winning break on the field and held on to score by one-length over the fast-finishing Amy and Ash Yargi-trained I’m Telling Ya.
The win also provided Neindorf with his second Stakes success.
“He was super. That’s my first one [at Flemington] but I’ll take it in a Listed race,” Neindorf said post-race.
