The amendment applies to: l. 4 Lloyd Street, Kensington which is part of Certificate of Title Volume 4364, Folio 872800. 2. Dock Link Road, West Melbourne, south of Dynon Road. 3. Kitz Lane, Melbourne. What the Amendment does. The amendment inserts a new Incorporated document titled 'Simplot Australia head office, Kensington, October 200 I', in the schedule to Clause 81 and the schedule to Clause 52.03 (Specific Sites and Exclusions) that permits the use and development of the land for the purpose of Office and ancillary car park in accordance with endorsed plans. If development is proposed that is inconsistent with the incorporated document, then consent from the responsible authorityis required. Map 4 PAO (Public Acquisition Overlay) shows an overlay PA07 over part of Dock Link Road West Melbourne, but the schedule to the overlay at Clause 45.01 of the Melbourne Planning Scheme makes no reference to PA07. Dock Link Road is now constructed and the overlay can be deleted in part, with renumbering the portion of PA07 along Dynon Road between Dock Link Road and the railway bridge to PAO 3 which has the effect of making the schedule correct. The amendment also corrects a mapping anomaly in relation to Kitz Lane. The PA06 overlay on Map 13 PAO has a number of parts, and the part in relation to Kitz Lane is no longer required.

This transcript is produced for information purposes only. Although all care is taken, no warranty as to its accuracy or completeness is given. It is your responsibility to ensure by independent verification that all information is correct before placing any reliance on it. GEOFF HUTCHISON It’s part of building site folklore that the Grollo brothers managed to get the Rialto Tower in… Melbourne, built on time because they provided beer and strippers on Fridays. Well now the biggest privately owned construction company in Australia is turning its gaze west. Daniel Grollo joins us from Melbourne. (greetings not transcribed) Daniel can you tell me is that Rialto story true? DANIEL GROLLO No, it’s not true there’s lots of myths around Rialto. It was a great iconic project that we done… back in the early ‘80s here in Melbourne, but that one’s not true. GEOFF HUTCHISON That wasn’t true. Now your family has always been seen as a… very colourful one, and I… it’s was begun by your grandfather, wasn’t it, some sixty years ago? DANIEL GROLLO Yes, my grandfather was an immigrant from Italy and… in the ‘50s he started a small pavement company and my father joined that company in the… sort of… ‘60s and really took it from there up into one of the biggest builders and developers in the country. GEOFF HUTCHISON – 2 – Now does your father adhere to the idea that the first generation makes it, the second grows it and third one loses it? DANIEL GROLLO Absolutely, it’s something he reminds us of… just about every week now… to make sure that we’re not that third generation.
