10.01.2022 Very disappointed in seeing this at the skate park this morning. There is a rubbish bin just near the bullring but apparently that is too far away for some lazy people. #putitinthebinpeople

08.01.2022 We can no longer take your soft plastics for recycling. We are in the process of investigating what we can do to continue this much needed service to our community.

07.01.2022 We absolutely love this latest addition to the Homes in Rochy. However there is no name on the bottom so we don’t know who the very talented person is that created this masterpiece. Remember there are houses available from F.P.Nevins & Co Pty Ltd for people to take and decorate in any way you like. The houses will eventually be put on display at the court house, the future home of the community garden, a joint project between @rotary club of Rochester and ourselves.
