18.01.2022 Dont forget to keep glass out of the recycling bin :) Ill admit Im guilty of still occasionally forgetting that glass no longer goes in the recycling bin!! (despite good intentions.) But its really important for everyone to get it right, so recyclables dont end up in landfill (and they stop picking up your bin.)
17.01.2022 Local dairy farmers, some tips on keeping your business and family save during COVID-19.
17.01.2022 Hopkins Falls have changed a bit since 1988....no viewing platform, the old cyprus trees, no formal carpark... lots of work done by the community, Landcare Group, Moyne Shire and others in the 30 years since.
17.01.2022 Warrnambool's SES unit has been the busiest in the state overnight with heavy rainfall across the region. There have been 23 requests for help with flooding o...r the threat of flooding to homes across the mid and south-west of the state, particularly around Koroit and Allansford. Warrnambool has recorded almost 56mm of rain since 9am yesterday. Steve McDowall from Port Fairy SES said with more rain on the way, property owners should be prepared for further flooding. "We're sandbagging those premises (that are affected), we're also pumping water at this stage trying to keep obviously the water out of these properties," Mr McDowall said. "The water is still currently rising so we probably haven't seen the peaks of some of these flood waters as yet." A number of roads have also been significantly affected. "We're seeing roads heavily impacted, so we're absolutely pleading with drivers this morning to slow down and take care, especially with water over the road" Mr McDowall said. "There have been some reports already this morning where there has been some very, very close calls."
16.01.2022 Hoping all Wangoom residents are staying safe and keeping sane as we all retreat to our homes and farms! Hand washing and social distancing are just as important in rural areas, we all have a part to play. From my understanding - the Wangoom Market day due to be in April has been cancelled.
16.01.2022 Moyne Shire have developed a draft Open Space Strategy, which has just been released for public comment (link below). Wangoom gets a mention in the action plan in the community initiatives for the next 5 years, with the action listed: support the community to create a community open space associated with the Wangoom Hall upgrades (through a design and costings plan). The rational for the action is listed as Enhance the environmental and recreation value of this open spac...e to build upon the investment in hall upgrades. Feel free to let them know if you support this action or have any other comments on the strategy or action plan (click on the what do think link on the page to give feedback):

12.01.2022 Good news so far on the local COVID risk at this stage. Well done to all of the local agencies involved.
12.01.2022 COVID -19 update - face masks will be compulsory for all people in Victoria from Sunday, August 2 at 11:59pm. Below is a statement issued today by Premier Danie...l Andrews. Statement From The Premier 30th Jul 2020 Today is not a good day. And as the numbers show, this virus does not discriminate. It rips through workplaces, sweeps through aged care settings, cuts through communities and tragically, takes lives with it as it goes. Most of todays cases are in metro areas. But we have seen a significant jump in regional communities. Its vital we stop this virus further seeping into regional Victoria. Last week, and based on the latest in scientific study, we announced that face coverings would be mandatory in metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire. Today, and in line with the advice of the Chief Health Officer, I can announce that same requirement will apply across regional Victoria. That means from Sunday 2 August at 11:59pm, a face covering will be mandatory whenever you leave home and wherever you live. I understand this will a big step for some. But by covering your face, youre protecting your community, and protecting those extra freedoms your community enjoys. By covering your face, youre keeping local businesses open, and keeping local people in work. There are, unfortunately, other changes we need to make. To date, new cases in regional communities have largely been contained to workplaces. Increasingly though, in some locations, were seeing a different kind of spread. Thats why, from 11:59pm tonight, and in the local government areas of Colac-Otway, Greater Geelong, Surf Coast, Moorabool, Golden Plains, and the Borough of Queenscliffe, you will no longer be able to visit people or have visitors at home. Understandably, therell be plenty of questions about why this and not that. Why you can have dinner together at a restaurant but not at a mates place. And the simple truth is, the data. The data is telling us that outside work, this is the single greatest cause of transmission in these communities. People are visiting friends and family and taking the virus home with them. It makes sense. These are the kind of places we let our guard down. We relax, we get comfortable and we forget all the rules about keeping safe. As challenging as it is, these changes are fundamentally about protecting the people you love. Reflecting todays numbers, well continue to look at workplaces how and what and where more can be done to protect workers, their families and their communities. I understand that many Victorians will be feeling equal parts frustrated, tired and sad. I am too. Were clearly a long way from where we wanted to be. As always, I do want to thank every single Victorian who is doing the right thing. This is one of the biggest challenges our state has faced. And yet, really, were all being asked to make the smallest of sacrifices. By not seeing your mate, you might be saving their life. By not hugging your mum, you might be keeping her alive. And by covering your face, youre contributing to the safety of every single Victorian. Day by day, decision by decision we can get on top of this. But we need your help.
