The Consultants for the Ivanhoe Grammar School have just forwarded Revised Plans regarding the Schools expansion of its facilities over the next 7 years. One key change has been the removal of the Access Rd to the Proposed Sports Stadium located
near the schools southern boundary ( The Yarra end of the School )
Residents will be very pleased to see this change as The Boulevard is a narrow, winding road set into the cliff edge above the Yarra and in this location has very sharp curves and
only has a properly constructed ( but very narrow ) footpath on one side - ( the other side of the road is a narrow grassy verge, which drops sharply onto residences below)
In some times
of the year one is easily blinded by turning suddenly into low angled light coming across the road, - at others - the mists from the river can also play a role in reducing visibliity around bends and even along its length in the early morning - a
combination of the two is most daunting
As a Scenic Tourist Route for all of Melbourne, ( from Williamstown to Warrandyte ) and also as a main access point to the public walking and cycling trails along the Yarra River - it
is a much cherished location of great peace and beauty, and a real asset to the aesthetics of the School as well - Many in the community are very proud that the school has chosen to protect this location in this way.
