Programme, Roland Harvey, 1999 Port Melbourne Festival, Feb 1999
Produced by the Port Melbourne Festival Committee in conjunction with the Bay Street Traders and Circus Oz and distributed throughout the municipality. 1999 was the infamous street festival sponsored in part by the Gateway Project, a group of three developers intending to build tall buildings of up to 22 stories in Bay Street between Graham and Rouse Streets (see p. 11). This so angered the Port Phillip Council that they took the Festival from the Committee and put it out to tender from anyone that would restore its 'community' basis. Port Melbourne Neighbourhood House won the tender for 200 to 2002 (see items 1255)Program for Port Melbourne Festival 1999: A4, 16pp, full colour (two copies)arts and entertainment, celebrations fetes and exhibitions, town planning - proposals shelved, port melbourne festival committee, circus oz -
