ALL RESIDENTS OF ORIENTAL BAY ARE WELCOME | PRESIDENTS’ REPORT On behalf of the Executive Committee of OBRA 1. Annual General Meeting of Members This will be held on Monday, 20 May 2019 at the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club at 7.00 pm. The Mayor, Justin Lester, will speak about his vision for Wellington, and his talk will be followed by a brief business session. 2. Finance Our Treasurer, Tore Haywood, will report on our accumulated funds at the A.G.M. 3. Membership Paid up membership is 151 . We encourage new residents to come to the Annual General Meeting and to join our association. Members who have not paid their annual subscription yet may do so at the meeting. 4. Website – [orientalbay.org.nz](orientalbay.org.nz) Once again we express our thanks to Tony Pritchard for valuable work on the OBRA website. We recommend that members refer to the website when there is a local issue of concern. Tony is meticulous in keeping our website up to date. 5. Council Funding An application for our general funding by the W.C.C. will be made in June. 6. Community Response Plan/Neighbourly Programme Claire Campbell is working with the Mount Victoria Civil Defence Hub and their community worker Trish Given on this important matter. We hope to produce a list of all the body corporates in all the apartment buildings in the Bay. We would then compile a list of advice for Body Corporates should there be a disaster of any kind. We thank Sara Williams who has been extremely helpful and is leading the way in this important area. 7. Oriental Parade Cycleway The cycleway between Herd Street and the Freyberg Pool was opened in December and has been well received. Andy Thomson worked extremely hard to achieve this, and we owe him our gratitude. 8. E-scooters Five of your committee saw the Mayor on 29 March to discuss this issue. Bob Buckle is leading an OBRA committee which will keep abreast of the issues. 9. Top of Zig-Zag/1 Oriental Terrace Committee members Bob Buckle and Judith Doyle are keeping an eye on the development at 1 Oriental Terrace. As has been said frequently, the view of the Monastery from various points in the Bay is one of Wellington’s most iconic, and it would be regrettable if any redevelopment on the site was to impinge on it. We are liaising with the Mount Victoria Residents Association on this. 10. The Band Rotunda We understand that the Council is making progress on plans for the Band Rotunda, and that they will be announced this year. We believe that the Band Rotunda isnot only a major Wellington landmark, but also a valuable building that should be brought back into use as soon as possible.
