21.01.2022 Great to see Bandiana Primary School has secured a Department of Defence lease extension. This will give a little breathing space to seek to ensure a new school is built in the Bandiana-Killara-Bonegilla growth corridor. It will also give an opportunity for further discussions with the Department of Defense to secure a long term option, that could rescue Wodonga Middle Years College Huon Campus, on a site of surplus Defence land soon to be divested near Whytes Road. ...

19.01.2022 As the election campaign draws to a close tomorrow I urge all those eligible voters who haven’t yet voted to do so. You can either get it in the mail or drop it off to the VEC office in High Street before close of business tomorrow - and of course please vote 1 Ron Mildren. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the very considerable number of people who have helped in all manner of ways leading up to and during the campaign. ... With the Victorian COVID 19 restrictions it has been more difficult to meet and speak with people, however phone calls during this campaign have been high both in people seeking information and people offering support and even a few conversations with people who wanted to challenge and debate my policy objectives and views. After tomorrow it will be a wait whilst the VEC staff input the votes and even this has been impacted by the Victorian COVID 19 restrictions. It is anticipated that the results may not be known for perhaps 3 or more weeks.
13.01.2022 I am hearing every day that this is impacting our Wodonga businesses. Please support our local Wodonga retailers and hospitality venues when you can.
12.01.2022 The Council election result is in and I am humbled to have been returned. Please accept my very sincere thank you to everyone who contributed through the campaign, who supported me over the past four years, who have collectively enabled my re-election, and thank you to all who voted for me. It is now time to put the election behind us and focus on representing the interests of our whole community. The job at hand is now to bring an open mind to recognise those commonalities a...cross the new Councillors and, as with most successful Councils before us, to seek to establish a constructive culture befitting the new Council. We have an opportunity to establish a truly co-operative approach drawn from open public debate and genuine consideration of all points of view and acceptance that a differing view and philosophy is valid and not simply negative politics. This Council has an opportunity to establish its way, to build on the legacy of past Councils. This Council can consolidate the strengths and remediate the mistakes from the past, facilitate growth infrastructure and maintain existing assets. We can positively change the way the Council does business to keep abreast of our changing community aspirations and demands and to ensure that we keep pace with our rapidly growing community physical and social infrastructure needs. We can genuinely open our Council up to the whole community. Whilst representational local government means that the seven elected Councillors are charged with making the decisions, we can genuinely converse with and listen to all of our community in forming our opinions and voting intentions. We can be open to change in our opinions from persuasive public debate both in the community and at the Council table. This Council is presented with opportunities not seen perhaps since the AWDC period in the early 1970s. It is critical that strong connections of substance be made by this Council at political levels with the Commonwealth and State governments, to make the most of the present opportunities. This window of opportunity will close quickly. I look forward with positive enthusiasm to constructive change under this new Council. -Ron
