Any ideas on how we should organise the information in this article? Here's a start: some background on the issue (the project planning dates back to 2004); a clear timeline of events associated with the dredging; a separate controversies section.... Davido321 (talk) 00:27, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
What would be really good to have is a map showing how Phillip is being dredged...Davido321 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 23:29, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] clarify
From the lead With a budget of $AU969 million, $AU150 million of this cost taxpayer funded[1], the dredging project is currently being carried by Dutch company Royal Boskalis Westminster for the Port of Melbourne Corporation (PoMC), a statutory body established by the Victorian Government responsible for the running of the port, at a cost of $AU500 million and is expected to be completed before December 31, 2009.... The highleghted part is it necessary to explain who/what PoMC is in the lead, the current sentence is hard to read initial thought is what does the cost of PoMC and that its to be completed by 2009 have to do with the dredging.

[edit] Infobox
I think an infobox of some sort is needed here, but I'm not sure what would be appropriate. Im thinking mabye we could create one especially for the article, much like Myki. Davido321 (talk) 14:28, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Some photos would also be nice - it depends who lives in the area and when the dredger heads back up the Yarra. The map is a good idea too - any weblinks to an existing one to work off?
- I am in contact with Blue Wedges's professional phtographer and I will hopefully have some photos to put up soon when everything is confirmed. There is a good map to go off here (blank version without the project areas highlighted here), in the body of the article there are links to Kilometre points which may be useful and there are some maps in the Environmental Effects Statement which could be useful.
