STAMPS are normally used to send mail, but in Jon Fladeby’s case he is the one who gets sent overseas with his stamps. An avid collector since he was a youngster in Norway, the Mt Martha man is becoming a regular on the international stamp exhibition circuit. See Page 8 Picture: Yanni

Shire asked to clear Martha Cove plans Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au PLANS have been unveiled to complete a major piece of the Martha Cove marina and residential jig saw puzzlelike development at Safety Beach.

small shops and a 200-seat restaurant. But by far the largest part of the site is devoted to housing: 215 apartments and 100 “townhomes�. A public space – Anchorage Park – is separated from the marina itself by a block of three-storey apartments and lies between the three-level homes to be built on lots 01 and 06. In 2002, City Pacific estimated developing Martha Cove as one project would cost $650 million, including

900 residences and 600 marina berths. Since then the company has collapsed and parcels of the original Martha Cove land have been sold and developed by separate companies. The latest proposal is outlined in a large, glossy 168-page Martha Cove Village Centre Development Plan Report. The plan shown to Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors outlines a staged development and is described as being “a holistic tool different from

previous documents for the centre�. The proposal is described as “a contemporary interpretation of the peninsula character�, and cites developments in Florida, Sweden, France, Spain, Perth and Queensland (Paradise Point) under the heading “Project Exemplars + Precedence�. Federal MP, developer and mining magnate Clive Palmer has a property at Paradise Point, which is at the Broadwater on the Gold Coast.
