Our Speakers for September are Two Representatives From Victoria's Big Build

Two representatives from North East Link and the Eastern Freeway Upgrade will make a detailed presentation at our September meeting.

The nature of their addresses is to provide us with a valuable overview of the two massive projects and to share with us an update on current progress and details of any key upcoming works.

Photographs of the large and intricate machines (featured above), fully illustrate the scope of the projects that have been undertaken.

This massive program of works is being carefully planned so the projects can open in 2028 – bringing all the pieces of North East Link together.

August Speaker Summary - Chris Bennett

Author Chris Bennett addressed our meeting with genuine enthusiasm about his autobiographical book, ‘Roy Boy’. It was a story about growing up in working class Fitzroy, Melbourne’s first suburb, during the 1950’s and 60’s, of migrant parents. He shared stories that we all identified with about old Fitzroy before gentrification. He talked of migrant family life, the strong community spirit of the era and the various characters he grew up with. It was a very enjoyable trip down ‘memory lane’.
