'GETTING STUFF DONE' - New Millgrove boardwalk 2023

 'GETTING STUFF DONE' - New Millgrove boardwalk 2023















Premier Jacinta Allan pledges to keep access to state parks open for recreational activities.

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan will pledge to keep access to state parks open for recreational activities such as dog walking, dirt bike riding and gold detecting in a keynote address to the Herald Sun Bush Summit. > https://bit.ly/478Kxo


Let's wait and see. .....
Yes Ms Allan is the Premier but how will the Labor Party Caucus handle her pledge and more so the Greens.

I never have and never will support the establishment of a Great Forest National Park.
'2016 - Assessment of the Economic, Social and Environmental Impact of the Proposed Great Forest National Park to the Yarra Ranges Municipality'
"The establishment of the proposed Great Forest National Park will add negligible value to that already generated by the existing Parks and State Forest with regard to the achievement of outcomes in Council’s Health and Wellbeing Strategy and Recreation and Open Space Strategy. The establishment of the proposed Great Forest National Park will not create any additional open space nor will it add additional recreational opportunities.
The establishment of the proposed Great Forest National Park may see limitations placed on some existing recreational activities."

'GETTING STUFF DONE' - Jim Child for O'Shannassy Ward Yarra Ranges Council - VOTE 1 in October.

I have announced today that I will be a candidate for the Yarra Ranges Council O’Shannassy Ward election to be held in October. 

As your fulltime Councillor it has been an absolute honour and privilege to serve and represent the communities of the Upper Yarra over the past twelve years, serving as Mayor for three years.

During those 12 years, investment in the O’Shannassy Ward has been the best we’ve ever seen, roads to community infrastructure build, footpaths, bridges, recreation reserves & pavilions, with much more still to be done, in particular Wesburn Park, Warburton, Yarra Junction and also finalising the Yarra Junction Place Plan then the YJ Township Design Framework, a project I instigated earlier this current Council term.
'GETTING STUFF DONE'

Feel free to contact me on 0419 550 523 or email jcchild@bigpond.com to discuss issues and the election process. …. Regards, Jim.
