The State Government must invest in Alternative Waste Processing NOW!

The State Government must invest the Sustainability/Land Fill Levy $500m+ Fund in Alternative Waste Processing NOW. .... Waste to energy, the only way to go!
As the recycling volatility continues, The Municipal Association of Victoria Vic Councils is calling for greater State Government industry oversight after more than a decade of under investment of landfill levy revenue amid Friday's notice by the Environment Protection Authority to stop two Melbourne sites from receiving recyclable materials.

Minister refuses to act in the interest of Reefton/McMahons Creek Community safety

Sorry, Jaala Pulford MP Minister for Roads, Road Safety and the TAC, your answer is not good enough, all the Reefton/McMahons Creek Community want is for their pedestrian bridge as committed to Yarra Ranges Council by VicRoads to be reinstated as soon as possible.

"I can confirm that in the past several weeks, a second funding application was lodged by VicRoads to be considered for the 2019/20 funding cycle. This is further to an unsuccessful application that was made in 2017 for the same matter.
VicRoads expects to receive further information regarding the outcome of this application from the government, mid-2019.
Further to this, if the RMAG wishes to lobby for the progress of this application I would encourage you to follow the matter up with your state member of parliament. 
If there’s anything I can help you with or further information I may provide, please feel free to get in contact."  - VicRoads 20th November 2018.

PLEASE Minister Pulford in the interest of our children's safety act on this issue.

The Warburton Community Recreation Precinct Stage 2 funding

The Warburton Community Recreation Precinct Stage 2 funding application moves forward......... 
Part of the Rivers and Ridges project this transformational infrastructure project is set to grow our region.
16 transformational regional infrastructure projects across Australia including the Yarra Ranges Council Warburton Community Recreation Precinct are a step closer to becoming a reality with applicants asked to submit full business cases for approval under the Australian Government’s highly anticipated $272.2 million Regional Growth Fund.
Minister for Regional Services, Sport, Local Government and Decentralisation National Party of Australia Senator Bridget McKenzie said the first stage of the assessment process has been highly competitive with more than 300 applications received from state and territory governments, local governments, businesses and not-for-profit organisations.
“The 16 projects proceeding to Stage 2 will increase manufacturing and tourism opportunities in these regions and most importantly, create jobs both immediately and in the longer term,” Senator Bridget McKenzie said.

WHAT IF MOUNTAIN BIKING NEVER CAME ALONG? DERBY’S IMPACT

Picture this, you're a 12-year-old kid living in a tiny Tasmanian town. That town is Derby, and they're beginning construction on the best mountain biking trails in the world at the top of your street. 
What do you do? 
Well, you put down that PlayStation controller and start riding, of course!
Flow Mountain Bike caught up with Miles in Derby, helped him wag work, met Pop and hit up the new jump trail; Air-Ya-GArn.
