IN 2013, when Bass Coast Post editor Catherine Watson wrote about the kerfuffle that took place when Bass Coast Shire Council tried to sell off number 70 Chapel Street Cowes (What would Olive say?) Catherine interviewed me as Olive’s great niece.
At that point the land was being used as an unofficial car park for the businesses around it and an overflow car park for the Coles supermarket opposite. The local real estate agents, many of whom made use of this gravel car park, refused to handle the sale and were adamant that the car park be sealed or the land even used for a multi-storey car park.
This was the antithesis of what Olive Justice wanted for her land!
