Docklanders heard from aspiring City of Melbourne council election candidates at a lively session at the Library at the Dock on October 6.
Representatives of 10 teams each spoke briefly before taking questions from the audience.
Representing teams were: Sue Morphet (Together Melbourne); Cr Jackie Watts (Team Morgan); Cr Richard Foster (Listening to Locals); Joseph Sarraf (Melburnian Voice); Phil Cleary (Phil Cleary Means Business); Cr Susan Riley (Tem Doyle); Cr Stephen Mayne (Stephen Mayne – Transparency, Independence, Accountability, Experience); Bruce Poon (Animal Justice Party); Ron Hunt (Strengthening Melbourne); Anthony Van Der Craats (The Light on the Hill Team); and Cr Cathy Oke (The Greens). Many other candidates from these teams also attended and also gave some specific responses to questions.
Popular themes emerging from the night included short-stay apartments, fireworks and the Harbour Esplanade development.
The session was organised by the Docklands Chamber of Commerce and was moderated by Docklands News publisher Shane Scanlan.
