25.01.2022 Day Two of the LMCLP 2021 Opening Retreat and the cohort spent time with Elinder Moore and Robert Musgrove from the Loddon Campaspe Regional Partnership, and Brian Westley from the City of Greater Bendigo, learning about government’s role in development of communities across the region. Another great day, with the crew heading off to Bridgewater for dinner and to hear about what’s going on in the Loddon Shire Council area.

18.01.2022 It's 2021, and more than any new year in recent memory most of us are looking towards the renewal that a new year brings. Although many people look down on New Year's resolutions, in reality it's a great opportunity to focus on personal change, and the marker of the calendar year gives us a great point to measure our progress. What change do you want to see in 2021, for yourself, and for our region?
