15.01.2022 Wow! Check out the view of spectra from the Bridgewater Bridge early on Sunday morning. : Matthew Bissett

15.01.2022 Whilst out and about, don’t forget to practice physical distancing as much as possible. We’ve provided some tips hot off the press to help our fellow Tasmanians visualise what 1.5 metres looks like.

14.01.2022 A MESSAGE FROM BRIGHTON MAYOR TONY FOSTER: DEAR residents, As some of you may already know Premier Peter Gutwein has just announced there will be a further easi...ng of COVID-19 restrictions beginning next Wednesday. The great news is that there are now NO active cases of COVID-19 in the State. Indeed Tasmania has gone 27 days with no new cases, with the total number of diagnosed cases still standing at 226 As a result, the next step of the Government’s Road to Recovery has been brought forward. From next week gyms, pubs, restaurants, weddings and funerals will be permitted to include 80 people. The Premier says a decision on opening the state's borders will be considered in early July. From midday next Wednesday, further lifting of restrictions will see 80 people allowed for indoor and outdoor gatherings. The rule applies to gyms, pubs, restaurants, weddings and funerals. The easing of restrictions is wonderful news for all sectors in Tasmania and for all of our communities. It demonstrates that with discipline and dedication we have ensured we have kept the virus at bay. All Tasmanians should be particularly proud of what we've managed to achieve. However, as a community, we must continue to abide by the social distancing rules as more people gather in a venue so that we keep each other safe. The venues themselves will need to keep to the four square metre rule and as individuals, we need to maintain a 1.5-metre distance from others. I urge you to continue to be very careful as you go about your business. Please continue to practise these social distancing measures, ensure you encourage everyone in your household to wash their hands or sanitise their hands when you've all been out and about and stay connected and up-to-date with the advice that our State Government and health authorities are giving us. With each easing of restrictions, there is always a risk of outbreaks so it is important we continue to follow the rules. I am proud of how our community has responded to the pandemic but as I have said before we mustn’t become complacent particularly as the days are getting colder and the normal flu and other cold-weather health issues can be exacerbated as we move around our community and the State. Remember too that Brighton Council is still very much working on your behalf. The Council Offices at 1 Tivoli Road, Old Beach have returned to normal hours of operation, Monday to Friday 8.30am 4.30pm, but with some changes as to how we serve you. So that you can be assured of those services please make contact in advance by email [email protected] or phone 6268 7000. Thank you again and I wish you all a good and safe weekend.

10.01.2022 A MESSAGE FROM MAYOR TONY FOSTER: The Brighton Municipality is recognised as one of the most progressive in Tasmania and Council is proud if its many initiative...s that not only protect our environment and surroundings, but also save valuable resources and indeed money that can be directed to other services. As one of the State’s fastest growing municipalities, Brighton has recognised the need to ensure there is community ownership of how it can be more sustainable and self-sufficient. Council is already doing this by increasing education programs on waste minimisation such as composting home waste, lessening single use plastic in the home, and encouraging residents to start worm farms. We all know that waste management is a major cost for the community and Brighton, like all councils is working hard to develop the most efficient systems and practices. There is much we can do around the home and in coming months we will promote a range of practical ideas to help the community manage its waste footprint. With waste costs increasing and the possibility of levies being introduced, actions we take now to minimise waste and maximise resource recovery will save ratepayers money in the long term. Council is doing its part as evidenced by the recent installation of the community's first electric car charging facility at the Council Chambers, available freely during business hours. With the use of electric vehicles growing, this should prove an advantage with those choosing this mode of transport. The new energy-efficient street lighting throughout the municipality will halve Council’s electricity bill and significantly reduce our carbon footprint. Street lighting is the single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions from local government and the changeover from the old lighting represents a significant enhancement in sustainability, as well as a valuable cost-saving. In real terms, the new technology lighting will result in a net reduction in Council’s carbon footprint of 36 tonnes of CO2 annually, equating to a 720-tonne saving over the 20-year life span of the fittings. Importantly, it will shave around $650,000 from our electricity bill each year, quickly paying for the cost of the project as well as releasing funds for other services. As an example of the benefits, the introduction of solar panels on our main buildings achieved a positive ongoing financial return within just three years. On a practical level, Council is also introducing more tree planting projects throughout the community, planning and building more parks and walking tracks, enhancing streetscapes, and working in collaboration with various groups such as MONA and other communities such as Geeveston Community Garden to build on existing community gardens in Brighton. We also worked with Spring Bay Mill and Hobart Airport to plant 1000 native trees and bushes at Polonia Bridge Park to create a native ecosystem and habitat on the banks of the Jordan River as part of the airport’s carbon accreditation program. Late last year, Brighton Council unanimously endorsed a Climate Change and Resilience Strategy that attempts to link interactions between the economy, society and the environment to gain the best long-term outcomes for the community. This underpins our approach to Brighton’s future development where we see opportunities to attract industries such as renewable projects feeding local businesses and being part of the ‘green hydrogen’ transition for Tasmania’s road and rail fleet. Far from being ‘radical greenie ideas’, these are practical and smart business decisions that are good for the community now and will pay big dividends in the future. They embody sensible decision-making to build a robust, resilient and more sustainable future for Brighton and its residents. They are practical initiatives, clearly within the realm of local government and Brighton is determined to take a lead. The outcome of our strategy will reduce our carbon footprint, enhance the beauty and appeal of our local environment, attract new industries and people to come here and release valuable financial and human resources for other important community facilities and projects. By being proactive today, Brighton Council is enhancing our region and safeguarding it for current and future generations. It is protecting all that makes the Brighton Municipality such a great place to live, work, relax and enjoy.

09.01.2022 Update: COVID-19 and Dentist Visits The public has probably already heard that Australia has been doing a great job of flattening the curve and the government has been able to lift several restrictions including those placed on dental practices, which have been in place over the last few weeks. We are pleased to be able to offer you a warm welcome back for all your dental treatment needs, including cleans, fillings and dental emergencies.... Your oral health is always important, but we recognise that isolation and the economic impact of the pandemic have taken a toll on most of us. We understand it’s easy to let your good habits slip during stressful times, so don’t delay if you need to come in for your regular check-up or any other service. Also, now is a great time to use your private health cover if you have not claimed dental in 2020. To book your appointment please call us on 6268 0453 or send a message to our page. At Brighton Dental we always pride ourselves on our high standard of patient care. In addition to our current exceptional infection control standards, our trained staff has implemented even stricter safety measures for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic including patient screening processes, hand sanitiser stations, distancing of chairs, limiting patient numbers in waiting rooms and temperature checks on arrival. We can’t wait to see you again, but if you’re feeling sick or experiencing any of the symptoms of COVID-19 please let us know, delay your visit, and take care of yourself first. If you have any questions or concerns please get in touch by telephone on 6268 0453 also check out the information provided by the Australian Dental Association. Brighton Dental Centre 6268 0453
