10.01.2022 This October event is to raise mental health awareness. I have chosen the virtual event to participate from Victoria. According to a Royal Commission in 2017 into Victoria's Mental Health System, Yarra Ranges Shire "has some of the poorest mental health statistics in Victoria". I will copy a link to a brief by Yarra Ranges Council in the comments. It outlines this situation and what has been endorsed in 2019 by our council regarding the matter. https://www.walkforawareness.org.au/

03.01.2022 Invited to the MESCH Inc committee zoom meeting last night, I was first off the rank to speak about my position regarding the Mt Evelyn Recreation Reserve, Clubs and the re-development of the Pavillion. I like the community to know that I support any improvements to the reserve, such as the installation of a second netball training area for winter use. The Clubs, I am excited to see so many young people playing a sport, many of whom are girls which play football. I understan...d from a recent article in the Mt Evelyn Mail (2020) that the cricket club has just formed a full girls team. This is also fantastic, for the club is on its way to having female cricketers in all age groups. The re-development of the new pavilion - the plans seems to tick all the boxes of the AFL and Cricket Australia set of guidelines. I consider it a fantastic achievement to be able to get grants from both the Federal and State government for this project. Any further financial support to maintain a high-quality sporting Pavillion, to improve the grounds will be of great benefit. It will increase membership numbers, bring more sport spectators, help our local economy and allow for all members of these clubs to most importantly enjoy themselves.

02.01.2022 What is a good councillor? The Victorian Local Governance Association (VLGA) Campaign Tool Kit outlines what is a good councillor and suggests that its not one ...who is consistently re-elected" or one who is always in the local paper" (VLGA 2020, p.11). But rather a good councillor is one who is "willing to listen and get things done (VLGA 2020, p.11). I believe this describes me, that I, Lisa Di Battista if elected will be a good councillor for Billanook Ward. See more
