Installation of the plaque took three years of negotiations with the City of Melbourne Plaques and Memorials Committee. Permits were also required from the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, the MCC Planning Department and Heritage Victoria. This skilful and patient negotiating was undertaken on behalf of the Carlo Catani Centennial Commemorative Committee by Isaac Hermann, who was also the convenor of the Committee. The efforts of Committee members Eddie Schubert, until recently the Heritage Officer, Department of Transport and Paul Balassone, Principal Heritage Advisor, Melbourne Water were extremely valuable in seeing this project through to fruition.
The plaque is yet another well deserved honour for Carlo Catani and the Carlo Catani Centennial Commemorative Committee and, in particular, Isaac should be congratulated on this project.
