residents along the marinas and tidal waterways feel like they are living in a fortress that protects them from the rises and falls of the river
Tidal gates protect these areas from the Patterson River by closing during high tides or when strong westerly winds push water from the bay in their direction
They allow locals to live on sprawling blocks right by the water without worrying about the flooding that can affect other nearby lowland streets

But the government-commissioned Port Phillip Bay Coastal Hazard Assessment, revealed by The Age on Thursday
has mapped out the streets around these waterways as areas that are likely to feel the impacts of rising sea levels
It identifies the Patterson River as at risk of inundation and changes to groundwater
in the event sea levels rise by 1.4 metres by 2100 and during a one-in-100 chance flooding event
are also identified as at risk of inundation in this scenario
The maps raise the prospect that those living along the Patterson River will one day need upgraded gates and improved flood mitigation to continue to enjoy living so close to the water
It has also reignited concerns about whether councils are equipped to handle the planning decisions these new flood zones could force upon local authorities
and whether some residents will need to be supported to live elsewhere
asking to speak anonymously to discuss their private finances
told this masthead they had noticed a spike in their insurance premiums that outpaced the price hikes being felt across the country
One homeowner said they had gone from paying about $2000 to $12,000 within two years
the widow of late Democrats leader Don Chipp
has lived for 20 years in the marina protected by the tidal walls
She said they had been relieved when they first bought the property to see it was protected from king tides but said flooding had become more of a concern as the effects of climate change became more visible in Australia
and other people are concerned,” Chipp said
“No council ever looks 100 years in advance and that’s the problem
Don and I were talking about climate change in the ’70s when they first formed the Democrats.”
Chipp said authorities would have to seriously consider climate change in their planning going forward
but hoped the tidal gates in Patterson Lakes could be a demonstration of how to live with the changing environment
Claude Picinali has lived along the Patterson Lakes waterway for 24 years and was on a local residents’ committee for Melbourne Water for eight years
He said he had never experienced flooding in his area
but that low-lying areas by the Patterson River were more exposed because of the gates protecting them from the flow of water
half of Carrum will go underwater,” Picinali said
was more philosophical about the prospect of a redrawn flood map by 2100

Automating our business’s operations is a key focus
employing new technology that automates inspection and operational processes has proved not only cost effective
but also increased staff safety and helped protect the environment and our communities
An example of automation is the operation of flood gates at Patterson Lakes
These flood gates separate the tidal waterways and town centre marina from Patterson River and are designed to protect the area’s 1,400 residents
their properties and local roads from flooding
The tidal gates open during normal weather conditions so that boats can access the river
our staff have had to visit the site to manually close the gates to prevent flooding
This process is not only potentially risky to our operators
but also costs valuable time while flood waters may be making their way upstream
A new automated system will allow the gates to close remotely as soon as we receive an alert about potential flood conditions
This instant response will mean reduced chances of floodwater entering the tidal canal system as well as lowering our labour costs
and helping to protect homes and businesses close to the river

Link copiedShareShare articleA 78-year-old man has been arrested after a woman, also 78, was found dead inside a house in Melbourne's outer south-east.
Police have not confirmed the relationship between the two, but several neighbours have told the ABC they were married.
Police said the woman's body was found inside the Balarang Court home at Patterson Lakes about 9:00pm on Sunday.
The man was arrested at the scene and is being questioned by police.
A forensic team is on scene as investigations into how the woman died continue.
A neighbour, Joel, said he could hear yelling from police inside his home.
"I was in my room and I just heard 'get on the ground', and came out and there was a cop in the front yard," he said.
"They had [the man] on the ground, and they took him away in cuffs.
"It's a bit of a shock, it's a bit surreal still."
Another neighbour, Brad Douglas, said there had never been any trouble on the street.
"It's a very quiet court. I've been here a couple of years with my mum looking after her, and the lady across the road often comes over for a coffee or vice versa," he said.
"The gentleman at the end of the street brings my bins in when I'm not here, so it's very quiet.
"Mum's just woken me up and said someone's been killed."

CONSTRUCTION on a new boardwalk at Inner Harbour in Patterson Lakes is set to take place soon
The Harbour Plaza area at Patterson Lakes was ravaged by a fire in 2022 (“Fire tears through Patterson Lakes businesses
Kingston Council has budgeted $1.4 million for boardwalk works in the vicinity
and is expected to go to tender later this year
Council has confirmed that it hopes to have completed construction by the end of the 2024/2025 financial year
Kingston councillor Cameron Howe says the project will help businesses recover after the 2022 blaze
“The Harbour Plaza fire at Patterson Lakes two years ago left an $8 million plus trail of destruction
erasing the restaurant scene and devastating many ventures that are now slowly rebuilding
The new boardwalk built this year at the plaza waterfront of Inner Harbour will further incentivise new tenancies
while addressing safe accessibility for pedestrians and maritime visitors to or from Patterson Lakes,” Howe said.“Reinvigoration of Inner Harbour has been more than a decade in the making when faced with bureaucracy
and the overdue boardwalk is being celebrated by residents that want to see the plaza reach its potential
as a true waterfront destination with a thriving restaurant scene accessible by boat or foot.”

Patterson Lakes — not the most inspiring piece of real estate — was the fictional home for the family
revealing the home’s “sensational waterfront position”
“We had a huge influx of Chinese investment in 2016. The competition amongst the Chinese buyers was quite staggering. We had a lot of buyers spending in excess of $1.5 million to $3 million,” says Mr Torre. “I think the water was definitely a factor. The water was seen by the Chinese as very fortunate and lucky thing to have at the rear of your property behind the house.”
It was also lucky for locals. “We have a natural ageing population, so people were selling for normal reasons,” says Mr Torre. “But people jumped on that bandwagon, and absolutely took advantage of a great market and achieved record prices.”
So how did little Patterson Lakes get on the Chinese radar so suddenly? Mr Torre believes it was due to little white balls.
“I believe the Chinese that were buying originally were affiliate members of a particular golf club, and the people that were here first, they put Paterson Lakes on the map with the wider Chinese community.”
Chinese interest has died down somewhat, but prices are still high. Recent REIV data reveals Patterson Lakes’ land comes in at $2850 per square metre. Blocks where people can build their dream home, like their neighbours did in the mid-’80s and early ’90s, are hot. “We had a sale a few months ago, a block on Palm Beach drive, that achieved $1.5 million,” said Mr Torre. “And that’s just for the dirt. Staggering results.”

Patterson Lakes has sold for $1.485 million
unusual” Patterson Lakes home has sold after a month on the market
The property at 4 Lagoon Place sold for $1.485 million on November 18
The home that was the setting of the classic Australian television series hit the market with price hopes of $1.3 million-plus in late October
Ray White Patterson Lakes principal Stephen Hill said the home had generated plenty of buzz
and eager Kath and Kim fans had outweighed buyers at first
we had people lined up all the way out the front but 95 per cent of those were there just to take photos,” Mr Hill said
but the week after that it was all buyers.”
Mr Hill said three offers were made on the property
It was snapped up by a buyer from Bentleigh
who will no doubt be celebrating with a glass of cardonnay
Kath’s prized kitchen had been brightened by some fresh paint
the home had retained virtually the same foxy looks it had presented in the show
But it had a far more scenic outlook than the series let on
with water views and direct access to a private beach area and jetty
The property’s waterside entertaining patio was a far more scenic setting for enjoying barbecue shapes and Bailey’s than the backyard shown in the series
Mr Hill said this prime waterfront position had been hidden during filming of the series
“It was in a fantastic location on the main canal
with beautiful water flow and facing the right direction,” Mr Hill said
Mr Hill said the home had a “very workable floorplan
The sales listing had described the property as “Luxury Living Day & Knight.”
Taking this “umurus” approach had been the only way to go
for those years on TV it had massive impact and obviously still does today to attract that sort of attention so you’ve got to use that avenue to have a bit of fun,” he said
not only is it a great location but it’s a talking point when they move in — nobody else can say that they have the house from Kath and Kim.”
The living area featured a slightly different outlook to that shown in the series
Mr Hill said the sale demonstrated the strength of the Patterson Lakes market
There have been some amazing results on the waterfront,” he said

The PLS uranium project is estimated to produce 90.9 million pounds (Mlb) of U₃O₈ over its mine life
The Patterson Lake South (PLS) uranium project is a proposed underground mine in Saskatchewan
A pre-feasibility study (PFS) for the PLS property was completed in September 2019 while the feasibility study
Highlights of the feasibility study include an initial capital expenditure of C$1.15bn ($858.8m)
and production of 90.9Mlb (41,231t) of uranium oxide (U₃O₈) over the life of mine (LOM)
The project will focus on the extraction of resources from a high-grade deposit
Construction of the project is expected to commence in 2026 and last for three years
The PLS project is located approximately 550km north-northwest of Prince Albert in northern Saskatchewan
The PLS property encompasses 17 contiguous mineral claims spread across 31,039ha
The Triple R deposit is located on claim S-111376
The property is situated within the north-eastern bounds of the Cretaceous Mannville Group
near the south-western edge of the Athabasca Basin
The project area is underlain by basement rocks of the Clearwater and Taltson domains
Uranium mineralisation at the Triple R deposit is found within the Patterson Lake Conductive Corridor along the strike in the western and eastern directions
Mineralisation occurs within mafic volcanic intrusive rocks with metasomatic mineral assemblages
The probable mineral reserves at the PLS uranium project were estimated at approximately three million tonnes (Mt)
with 93.7Mlb (42,501t) of U₃O₈ of contained metal
The PLS uranium project will be operated as an underground mine using longhole stoping method in a longitudinal retreat orientation
The completed stopes will be backfilled with cemented rock fill
A surface decline will be developed near the processing plant and waste stockpile to provide access to the deposit
Excavation works for the decline will be conducted using a tunnel shield method with a hydrostatic segmental concrete liner for ground support
Two vertical shafts will also be added to act as a dedicated ventilation system for air intake shaft and exhaust air
The artificial ground freezing method will be employed to partially recover mineralised material between the overburden and the bedrock
This will be accomplished by freezing the ground by drilling holes into the overburden and shallow bedrock
A chilled brine solution from a refrigeration plant will be pumped through the holes to create a frozen cap
The drift and fill mining method will be used to extract the mineralised material with cemented hydraulic fill as backfill
The use of explosives in the crown pillar areas will be avoided
thanks to the use of roadheader tunnelling equipment
The processing facility will include a conventional grinding and leaching circuit
The processing plant is expected to have a nominal processing throughput of 1,000 tonnes per day (tpd) with an estimated U₃O₈ recovery rate of 97%
The run-of-mine (ROM) ore will be ground in a single-stage semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) circuit to achieve a preferred size of 150µm
The ground ore will be introduced into a leaching circuit with sulphuric acid and hydrogen peroxide at 50°C
The leached slurry product from the circuit will be processed using counter-current decantation and clarification to produce the pregnant leach solution. The uranium content of the PLS will be purified and concentrated via a solvent extraction (SX) circuit and precipitated to form yellowcake
Calcination of the yellowcake precipitate will be done at 450°C and the resultant product will be packaged in drums
The process tailings will be neutralised prior to being deposited in the tailings management facility (TMF)
The PLS property can be accessed by road via Highway 955

excrement and death wafts through the halls of the old Berkeley Living retirement village
those who once lived there have long moved on - some willingly
Nestled along Gladesville Boulevard in Patterson Lakes - in Melbourne's south east - residents who live near the old retirement village try to pretend it's not there.
One old timer from across the road told Daily Mail Australia it didn't bother him.
What comes out at night in Patterson Lakes boggles the mind.
A gardener who tries hopelessly to keep the filth off an adjoining block reckons its tall, white kids - up to 20 at a time.
He has moved all kinds of junk from the grassy area that sits in front of the wicked eye-sore.
One time he had to move 30 hospital beds from out back of the village - an area that commands direct riverfront views of the Patterson River.
A burnt out car has sat in the car park for eight months.
He can't get anyone to tow it because he's told the shelter it sits under is at risk of falling down.
The neighbours complain to the local council, which complains to the mortgage company that owns the block, which complains to the gardener.
People are now using the site to ditch other stuff too, with loads of sand being dumped in the car park.
Inside the old retirement village is another story altogether.
It is a den of filth that should not exist anywhere, let alone a hop, skip and a jump from river waters where millionaires board their fancy boats.
Looking at photos of its interior, one could be forgiven for mistaking it as a set piece for a zombie apocalypse movie.
Hardly a window in the building has not been smashed, or a wall not tagged or kicked in.
Nazi stickers and slogans tarnish the walls alongside other vile abuse directed at minorities.
A white board that still contains a long gone day's business now has a red swastika painted on it.
A door warns: 'Keep out f**k off or die'.
Couches and chairs have been tossed through windows like a 1982 Motley Crue hotel sleepover party.
Light fittings are torn from the ceiling, which has been ripped open in areas and trashed inside.
It's as if those who once lived and worked there just fled after a horde of criminally insane patients broke loose.
But if these kids are high on anything, it's 'nangs' and bongs.
Small canisters of nitrous oxide gas are strewn throughout the rubble.
Designed for whipping cream, the canisters are a calling card for the young and bored.
The lunacy of what goes on at night is apparent everywhere.
Soiled condoms, discarded booze bottles and bonfires lit within rooms where elderly grandparents once knitted tea cosies.
The grand wooden bar where the residents enjoyed a tipple has been desecrated.
And the storage room that held their Christmas decorations violated.
Filing cabinets filled with sensitive documents have been sifted through and ransacked.
Names, addresses and medical histories are all just laying there for anyone to see.
Daily Mail Australia saw entire rooms overturned with personal documents.
It's not the first place in Patterson Lakes to cop the ire of its bored and angry youth.
An imposing, double-storey bluestone home was in 2016 declared 'haunted' by the local kids.
Residents declared that house 'a magnet for undesirable people, including drug addicts and teenagers with nothing better to do'.
Kingston Council ordered the house to be boarded up.
It has given the very same directive with the retirement village, but residents say it doesn't go far enough.
For one, the vandals have begun ripping the boards from the walls.
Kingston Council responded to residents' concerns by boarding the ground floor up but, as yet, their requests to have the second floor closed off have not been answered.
The building has been derelict since the home closed down in 2017.
It is understood the building is owned by a group of investors, which has led to it remaining vacant and idle.
Two council workers were apparently looking over the property on the day Daily Mail Australia visited.
The long suffering gardener said he believed the council was about to start issuing enforcement orders to those that owned the property.
But until the building is bulldozed, he'll just continue to clean up the trash outside.
Kingston Council general manager of planning and development Jonathan Guttman told Daily Mail Australia on Monday evening removal of the wrecked car from private property was a police matter.
'We have received two complaints in the last month and council staff acted immediately to do what it can to investigate and ensure the ongoing safety of the site,' he said via a statement.
'Our officers have undertaken inspections and met with the Country Fire Authority and police, who have declared it an OH&S and fire risk. The site is privately owned with multiple owners.
'An order was issued today and sent out to the Owners Corporation manager. This order asks the owners to board up the building and put up a fence around the building and clean up the site.'
