Dear All,
Thanks again for visiting my site which I have committed to updating more frequently to give you a better view of council, and a better view of the Wingrove ward.
Recently we have been continuing to assist in the massive task of community support and redevelopment in the wake of the bushfire crisis, and are continuing to work with our communities to rebuild and recover.
Locally in Eltham the Eltham Lower Park drain works have been progressing well, with the replanting and bank stabilising works being undertaken, and with the support of the local Friends groups, a fantastic resource will be available for all again very soon.
The building works in Eltham shopping centre are continuing at a rapid pace also, and despite the short term inconveniences, the long term benefits will be huge for all.
I’d also like to announce that as of the first Saturday in May (May 2nd), I will be starting a bi-monthly meet and greet in the Eltham Town Square from 10:00am to midday where members of the community will be able to come and speak with me about emerging community issues and any questions about council and the operations thereof. I look forward to speaking with a lot of you there.
Over the next couple of weeks, council is working on the current new council plan, and will be working on budget issues. Any community feedback on these issues is more than welcome so I can add your feedback into the mix, and continue to ensure that the community is recognising and incorporating the issues and values of the community we represent. In Wingrove ward, in Eltham South, we are also working with community fireguard groups in the area, and working with the CFA to manage and develop these groups.
That’s about it for now – stay safe and happy.
Helen.
