18.01.2022 << Contribute to the development of Greater Melbourne’s Regional Climate Change Adaptation Strategy >> Victoria is already experiencing the impacts of climate change; in recent years we’ve seen devastating bushfires, rising sea levels and more frequent extreme weather events. Alongside reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, supporting a robust approach to adaptation is critical to building our resilience and preparing our industries and communities for the future climate. O...ne way communities are being supported to adapt to climate change is through a $9.3 million commitment by the Victorian Government to develop Regional Climate Change Adaptation Strategies. Taking a regionally-based, community-led approach to developing these strategies will ensure they reflect local challenges, opportunities and priorities, and capture the insights of the people who know these areas best. You can contribute to the development of Greater Melbourne’s Regional Climate Change Adaptation Strategy by sharing your views on Melbourne’s Climate Journey Discussion Paper, which summarises a range of issues and adaptation options. The insights you provide about local climate change adaptation challenges, issues and concerns will inform the regional strategy and help secure Melbourne’s resilience against climate change. Visit https://engage.vic.gov.au/regional-climate-change-adaptatio for more information, to access the discussion paper and to share your views before Monday 7 December 2020. ----- Copy provided by Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning
17.01.2022 >> Have you been out and about to dine at some of the new outdoor dining spaces popping up around Stonnington? 60 venues have extended their existing footpath trading (businesses who usually trade on the footpath being able to take up space in front of neighbouring businesses with permission) 40 on-street dining installations have been created in on-street car parks when it is safe to do so. ... Greville St in Prahran has been partially closed to allow on-street dining. In the future, there will be a partial closure (Friday afternoon to Sunday night) in Beatty Ave in Armadale. COVID has been undoubtedly crap, but it is opening up some exciting new ideas and ways of living that we can celebrate.

16.01.2022 Thank you Stonnington!! I’m thrilled to share that I have been elected to be a Councilor representing the people and communities of Stonnington. We are entering a significant time in the history of Stonnington due to the challenges and disruption that COVID has presented, but there are also important opportunities that we need to seek out and embrace as a community and city. ... I look forward to working with the other elected Councillors and our broader community in the years to come and deeply respect the courage and passion of all candidates who put themselves forward in this election. I only became an Australian in June this year because I knew that this was where my children were going to grow up and because I place great value in the ability to vote for what you believe in. On a high of citizenship and with a passion for helping my community and neighbourhood thrive, I decided to run for Council. I have never had an interest in politics, am not an extrovert, and was never a school prefect-type, but I felt like I had a combination of skills, values and leadership that could be of use to our community. I’m proud that I gave it a go and humbled by the support of our community. I hope that my journey might have also inspired others in the community to give things a go. Put your hand up to help. Participate or volunteer in unusual or usual ways. Because research shows that when you help others, you feel happier and are healthier! And of course, a big thank you to my family, friends and the wider community who bolstered my confidence and supported me in big and small ways along this incredible journey. Onwards
