The City of Melbourne council elections got underway in October with none of the stunts, meet-the-candidate events or the flamboyant billboards of past contests. Some are calling it the “sanitised elec- tion” with face-to-face canvassing virtually non-existent. There has been some letterboxing by the Victorian Socialists and The Greens. But the prevalence of security entrances in high-rise buildings made it difficult for grass roots parties to reach potential voters. Mary Poulakis and Fiona Sweetman, both local businesswomen in the CBD, have come closest to actually being on the hustings. Mary runs Harrolds department store in Collins St while Fiona runs a walking tour business, Hidden Secrets, from the Nicholas Building in Swanston St. The two running partners had a chance to address potential voters at small businesses that have stayed open during the pandemic while they’ve been taking their daily exercise on the streets. “I’ve been having four coffees a day,” Mary ▲ Local businesswomen Fiona Sweetman and Fiona Sweetman approaching a cafe in Spring St. said.

Arrangements to kick start Victoria’s outdoor dining program have been sped up in prepara- tion for Melbourne’s reopening. A new planning exemption was announced by Minister for Planning Richard Wynne on October 21, and by end of the same week the City of Melbourne had issued more than 1000 outdoor dining permits – representing more than 98 per cent of applications received. The planning exemption allows existing cafes, restaurants, bars and pubs – which will reopen by November 1 – to use existing outdoor spaces as well as nearby parks and public land to accommodate and serve patrons without the need for a planning permit. ▲ Ryan and Laura from Axil Coffee Roasters on Bourke St prepare for outdoor dining.

The application for the heritage-listed build- ing at 247-283 Queen St is, according to ISPT, a bid to revitalise the Melbourne landmark and create a new and vibrant heritage precinct.
