Organised by members of the Youth Action Group (YAG) and the ‘Off-Tap’ FReeZA committee, the event was held on November 21 and attended by more than 550 people. Highlights of the day included skate, scooter and BMX competitions, a skate demonstration by a professional team of skaters, a street art demonstration, workshops, live bands, a petting zoo and inflatables. Moorabool Shire Mayor Allan Comrie said the skate park came alive on the day. “There were about 350 people at the competition events alone, so it was very popular. The participants were very talented, demonstrating amazing tricks and skills,” he said. On a high from the event, the Youth Action Group, FreeZa and Council’s youth services have already begun planning for the new year, with activities planned at Bacchus Marsh pool and a myriad of events planned for National Youth Week in April. Youth Services will also soon have its own website up and running, which will provide young people with the opportunity to see what’s going on in the community. Mr Comrie encouraged anyone aged between 12 and 25 who wanted to get involved to contact Council. “The Youth Action Group and the FReeZA group are always looking for new members. So if you want to be involved, let us know,” he said. Anyone interested, can contact Council’s Youth Services on 53667100 or check out Youth The Bacchus Marsh skate park was well utilized during the YouthFest with the scooter, BMX and skateboard competition proving Services Facebook page: Moorabool Youth popular.

  • Moorabool Shire Council Submission to the PADR
    Niluksha Herath 26 June, 2019 Manager Western Victorian Renewable Integration RIT-T Australian Energy Market Operator Via electronic lodgement File: 13/03/010 [email protected] Dear Niluksha, MOORABOOBL SHIRE COUNCIL SUBMISSION - WESTERN VICTORIAN RENEWABLE INTEGRATION PROJECT ASSESSMENT DRAFT REPORT Introduction Moorabool Shire Council (the Shire) welcomes the opportunity to provide a submission in response to the Western Victoria Renewable Integration Project Assessment Draft Report (PADR). We thank the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) for their recent briefing and the opportunity to provide this submission. The Shire recognises the importance of this significant renewable energy infrastructure project and applauds AEMO for commencing a project that has the potential to provide significant community benefit including increased employment opportunities, not just for Moorabool Shire residents but more broadly across Western Victoria. The Shire is generally supportive of renewable energy, which is evidenced through the substantial number of wind farms that are both operational and under construction within the municipality. However, the Shire is also mindful of achieving a balanced outcome where the amenity of the Shire is not unreasonably compromised by the visual intrusion that such infrastructure projects can have on the landscape and angst this causes within the community. As per our recent briefing from AEMO, it is understood that there is currently insufficient capacity within the existing transmission infrastructure to enable the amount of proposed renewable energy generation in Western Victoria. As a result, AEMO is undertaking a Regulatory Investment Test for Transmission (RIT-T) to assess the viability of increasing transmission network capacity in the Western Victoria region, to facilitate the efficient connection and operation of new and existing generation in the region.

    Buninyong Property Factsheet 1st Half 2018 OVERVIEW Buninyong* is a suburb located approximately 11km south of Ballarat in Victoria. The town experienced a population increase of 14.5% between 2011 and 2016, yet the number of residential stock increased by 9.3%. While housing stock has increased, the population is growing faster, which points to an urgent need for more stock to cater for the population growth. CHANGE FROM HALF YEAR LAST YEAR House Sales House Median Price MARKET CONDITIONS The Buninyong* property market recorded a median house price of $496,000 and House Rental Price $266,600 for vacant land in Q1 2018, which represents an annual price change of 19.2% and 40.3% respectively.
