25.01.2022 Yesterday the new Minister for Planning, our own local MP the Hon Vickie Chapman, announced that treasured Contributory Items will be recognised in the new Planning and Design Code. If the detail is right, it will be a great win for residents!

25.01.2022 GREAT NEWS! Although there are still a number of general admission seats available, the Cabaret Seats for A Grand Night at the Regal with Rhonda Burchmore on... Friday 16th October are SOLD OUT. So, by popular demand, Rhonda Burchmore will now also be performing a matinee at 2:30pm on Saturday 17th October! Join us at this red carpet event where Australias stage and screen icon Rhonda Burchmore is set to delight us, performing the hits from Broadway, with her dazzling performance and unique style around the Grand Piano.

24.01.2022 Can you help? The new owners of 61-63 High Street have been researching the history of their heritage home, and wonder if anyone has any early photos which include the Residence & attached Butcher shop (corner of Bridge & High Streets). The bluestone building was built for the Hughes family in 1873 and they owned the residence & shop for over 100 years. It was redeveloped sometime in the 1980s and the shop split off into a second cottage. The owners have gained extensive knowledge of the Hughes family (courtesy of local historian Denise Schuman) but have not been able to find any old photos showing the building. Any photos or info is very much appreciated via this Facebook page.

24.01.2022 Around 14000 of us signed the petition on the planning reforms and now a Committee of Parliament is calling for submissions. A report will be made to the new Mi...nister for Planning summarising the submissions. Make sure the community voice is heard and send in your views, long or short! Details in the photo below.

23.01.2022 The Angled Satin Moth. Found in Borthwick Park! Our major annual planting day is coming up on Sunday July 5th. Please join us for a great morning of planting followed by lunch.

21.01.2022 Have you seen this dog?

21.01.2022 What about getting out of the house for some exercise? Thanks to Council, we have plenty of mulch to spread! If you are self-isolating, how about taking a break and spreading some mulch for an hour to help our local park along? The mulch is essential to suppress the winter weeds that will start popping up soon. Get out and exercise in the fresh air on your own or with your kids or other household members. Working in the garden or the park is hugely beneficial for our sense o...f well-being. And its easy to maintain distance from others. If you can find some time over the coming weeks please call me on 0422 909 710, message me or email [email protected]. I will show you exactly where we need the mulch spread, while observing social distancing protocols. Lets keep moving and helping our community! We have a wheelbarrow you can borrow. Youll need at least a spade or shovel, a bucket and a rake. I can lend you these items but please bring your own gloves. Many thanks, John Legg PS; other jobs available too on request.

11.01.2022 Is your mind cluttered? Stressed about things in your life? Fortunately the answer is at hand in our very own Borthwick Park! Weeding is a meditation. While youre weeding, you can imagine that you are removing the negative from your life. As each weed is pulled, your life is becoming more and more positive. You are getting rid of the bad and allowing the good to grow in its place. After an hour of weeding your mind is clearer; the answers emerge.... Contact John to get you started when you have an hour to spend alone or with a friend. The weeds are waiting for you. When you are ready they will be there for you. John Legg Biodiversity Coordinator Ph 0422 909 710 or [email protected]

07.01.2022 Hope to see you there on the weekend! Its located next to the new Mary Mackillop Museum, across from the pool.

07.01.2022 In our email news of 29 May, we advised of the posting of the EPAs response to Peregrines proposal, and the many submissions on the DPTI website. One astute resident checked through the two documents but was unable to find her submission and then determined that at least four other residents submissions were not included. She contacted DPTI and they responded by posting a third document of 93 pages with all the submissions that were missed from the original two documents. ...How could they miss 93 pages of submissions? Is it surprising that they have not added a statement indicating that these submissions have been added or an apology for missing them?

05.01.2022 When was the last time you got into nature and did some exercise? How about helping Borthwick Park along by spreading some mulch?

If you can find some time over the coming week or two please call me on 0422 909 710, message me or email [email protected]. I will show you exactly where we need the mulch spread, while observing social distancing proto...cols. Lets keep moving and helping our community! We have a wheelbarrow you can borrow. Youll need at least a spade or shovel, a bucket and a rake. I can lend you these items but please bring your own gloves. Many thanks, John Legg PS other jobs available too on request.
