I am a resident of Newport (Elvina Ave) and am interested in opening a small wine bar in the vacant shop on the corner of Robertson Rd and Foamcrest ( formally the photography and prior to that the bridal shop).
I propose a small, intimate venue where patrons can enjoy a quiet wine or a pre/ post dinner drink to complement the many eateries in Newport. The operating days would be Wed-Thu 4pm – 9:00pm and Fri-Sun 3:30- 10:30pm. The venue would only be small, and would complement the social and hospitality vibe that exists in Newport
I would like to meet with you to answer any questions and gain your support / endorsement.
Patrick,
Thanks for your message. If you are able you would be welcome to attend our next NRA meeting on Thursday 20th June 2017 at the Newport Community Centre – Activity Room 2 at 7.00pm and address our members. I believe you would get much support. Please let me know and you can communicate directly with me gebutler@aapt.net.au or our Secretary at secretary@newport.org.au
Kind regards

Now that the B line service seems to have been unilaterally extended to Newport does anyone know how I can find out the answers to the following questions?
1.Can plans for proposed new Newport B Line bus turnaround/interchange can be viewed ?
2. What will it look like?
3.Where will it be located?
4.How many buses will it accommodate?
5.Copy of traffic management plan?
6.When is construction due to commence?
7.Will there be any community consultation meetings?
It seems Newport will now be unique in being the only suburb on the Northern Beaches to have a bus terminal so proximate to the beach with all the noise and fumes this will no doubt entail.
Robert,
Thanks for your note. As you will observe from the information contained in our ‘Current Issues’ post on our website http://www.newport.org.au we have also been concerned with these matters and sent a letter to Dick Persson the NBC Administrator on the 23rd June 2016 (details within the ‘Current Issues’ post and a copy of the letter under ‘Documents/Submission’) I also personally drove Dick Persson around Newport last year pointing out all the difficulties. The executive of the NRA and executives from B-Line are currently in the process of setting up a meeting asap to discuss the issues.
Kind regards

The added noise and visual degradation resulting from the placement of the B-Line terminus in the Newport Beach carpark will destroy the amenity of Newport Beach and adversely impact the Village as well as create a traffic hazzard.
Of even more concern will be the attraction of the terminus to the loutish set who are inevitably drawn to commuter hubs such as that planned for Newport for the B-Line bus route. Pursuing that option will reflect in increased public disturbance and petty crime in the surrounding residential area.
Mona Vale presents a more viable option given its ability to absorb the terminus into its commercial development with little impact on the town and its residents.
Palm Beach, Whale Beach, Avalon & Bilgola residents should also be concerned about the potential traffic chaos arising from the State Governments intention to place the Northern Terminus at Newport at a prime beachfront location. Some 100 bus turnings by B-Line busses across Barrenjoey Road are planned per day with a concentration over peak work and school drop-off periods. Those same buses also of course have to re-enter Barrenjoey Road after they have picked up passengers.
These bus movements are going to severely disrupt traffic flows on Barrenjoey Rd with markedly increased traffic jams both on the Bends going south and in Newport Village going North.
Of note is that the Mona Vale Residents Association has indicated it would welcome the B-Line terminus in their town and have lobbied the government to utilise the Mona Vale Bus Depot for this purpose. One of the attractions of this option is its ability to absorb the terminus into a commercial development with little impact on the town and its residents.
I have watched the B-Line to Disaster video on YouTube and strongly oppose Newport being B-Line Terminus as it will be hugely detrimental to the village community. Is there any plan to create a petition so local residents can voice their dissatisfaction with the plans? A Facebook petition maybe a way to gather numbers.
