25.01.2022 With the sun making the odd appearance and some outdoor social gathering allowed under current directions you might be thinking that now is the time for a picnic. You are right, but only if you are doing your picnic right. As we move toward COVID Normal it is more important than ever that we do what we can to prevent community transmission. That means: ... Instagram-worthy platters will have to wait - shared cutlery and food are a transmission risk. Keep yourself safe from your double dipping friend and choose single serve options. Masks are a must and while you can remove them to eat, they must be replaced afterwards. No hugs, handshakes or cheek kisses maintain your physical distance. Your outdoor gathering should go for less than 2 hours and be with either your own household OR one person for another household if you are in Metropolitan Melbourne. Find out more about current directions: https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/victorias-restriction-levels-co

There are online consultations available where local needs can be articulated.... Consultations hosted by NMLL about 2 years ago made the following points The redevelopment plans should ensure access to work for local people at the construction and post construction phases The redevelopment plan should ensure adequate secure and affordable housing is available throughout the development.
