My City of Monash My City of Monash is about the people living here, administration officers, councillors, events, places to eat and have fun, the ups and downs, and more.

The local newspapers relied on just one or two reporters to cover news items, not just for City of Monash, but also other cities depending on the size of the companies they work with. It was a Sunday afternoon drive that led my wife and I to this city. We stood on a barren hill, looking at the Dandenong mountains at the distance, and immediately we made up our mind to purchase a block of land, hop

ing to build our dream home. 4 years later, we saved enough money to set our plan in motion, and the rest is history. We have moved from the house we built, but still lived in the city. The name of the city has been changed from City of Waverley to City of Monash. From the balcony cm blog-room of my present home, I can see the Dandenong mountain, and occasionally if I am still awake around the hours of sunrise, I can enjoy sight of the sun slowly and lazily climbs out of bed and stretches out its arms of rays, and within an hour or so, turns on the light to transform the pitch-black sky into a bright canvass, dotted with cotton-like clouds. I always have my digital camera and mobile phone camera ready to snap photos of interest, especially events organised by the Council. Due to privacy reason, I cannot publish my photos of people publicly at wish, and therefore, most of my snapshots are about special activities, foods, buildings, parks and gardens. Life in City of Monash is fast enough for me. It has extremely few high rise monstrous buildings, but does have some opulent architect designed houses, and many more 60s era brick veneer homes. It has a fairly well balanced demographics. On the surface, City of Monash is very multicultural, but most of the small businesses, especially the food related ones, are dominated by the Asians. I love the sight, sound, smell and feel of the City. I like to publicise My City of Monash to the people here and everywhere how lucky I am to be a resident here.

Closure of carpark and roads will definitely affect businesses negatively around Monclair Avenue and Kingsway, but all these inconvenience are for the good of the community in the long run. There will be more carparking spaces and a brand new station for SRL.
Anyone has been to the Melbourne CBD for a meal by car is likely to spend more than $10 for parking, plus walking a few blocks before reaching the restaurant. Around Monash CBD, the multi-storey carpark at Euneva Avenue is under utilised, and The Glen Carpark is open as long as the centre is open. The carpark in front of Ikon and bounded by Springvale Road is available but make sure to check the time allowable.
We have been very spoilt. A bit of walking exercise is good for the body, and help the local traders.
Thank you for reading.

Not all businesses are lucky enough to move from one address to another across Kingsway. The original shop is up for lease or sale.
A couple more shops are closed in addition to some other ill fated ones.
The closure of Bogong Avenue carpark, and soon the Monclair Avenue carpark will spell disaster for many restaurants and retailers.
Please continue to support them throughout this difficult time when train project is in progress.
Thank you for reading.

Very soon, the area around City of Monash will be totally transformed. Many of the eateries are found in The Glen, Cantonese and Malayian eateries turn into to Korean, Japanese or Chinese regional hotspots.

Works on the underground station is abot to start, and traffic management will be altered. There will be road blocks, reducing carparking facilities, while increasing congestion. Unfortunately, many businessed will experience serious negative impact.

Thanks to my wife, my careerbfor who has been looking after me due to my severe health conditions, drove me to the area, and patiently waited for to taking more than a hundred photos. The sun was extremely bright, and many photos did not turn out very good.

Many shops around City of Monash have changed hands or undergone facelift. In fact, many of Chinese eateries have gone and turned into Korean or Japanese. Even the so-called Chinese are not Cantonese or Malaysian, but of regional origin.

Construction of the underground Glen Waverley is in preparation. and parts have been blocked. In the next few months, traffic around Kingsway will be badly affected.
