  • Help Shape a Better Bass Coast Community
    Help Shape a Better Bass Coast Community Engagement – Paths, Trails and Footpaths Inverloch and Cape Paterson Complete the concrete pathway to the Inverloch surf club before someone is run over by a car Add a cycle path/lane to the Cape Pat-Inverloch road Footpaths in Inverloch on every road and bins at beach exits Sort the walking/ bike path to Cape Paterson out as a high priority. It's one of the missing links in growing tourism and would provide another health and wellbeing option for the locals. The section along surf parade and up to the RACV Club entrance. Finish the footpath from Ayr Creek to Invy Surf Beach Inverloch needs more FOOTPATHS up near the highway end of town! There's nothing worse than having to use a mobility scooter on the road.... It's frightening! Not to mention it's actually illegal! So come on how about paving the place!! - Also please extend the walking track along Surf Pde Inverloch. Invest in footpaths in Inverloch down Toorak Road. This a community that likes to walk and exercise and people's safety is at risk as they walk with prams, run and walk into town along the road, as they have no other option. Invest some of our capital works budget in the wellbeing and safety of residents and visitors. There are nature strips on either side so no reason why this cannot be achieved - Jan Martin (resident and ratepayer) This should be a high priority as Toorak Road carries a lot of pedestrian traffic. With sun glare and shade cast by trees it is extremely dangerous as drivers have difficulty spotting pedestrians as well as keeping their eye on traffic and parked vehicles.

A good deal of time and effort went into the move to our new premises in Buckley Street. We are now well settled in the new rooms and able to display items from our collection which had previously been kept in storage due to lack of space. Members have participated in the planning and development of Legacy Place and the unveiling of a bust in honour of Sir Stanley Savige, and also in the development and enhancement of the facilities at the Town Common. We have also enjoyed visits to other local history Societies and have been part of the Latrobe Combined History Group and the Gippsland Association of Affiliated Historical Societies.

  • 2012 Gippsland Flood Event - Review of Flood Warnings and Information Systems
    2012 Gippsland Flood Event - Review of Flood Warnings and Information Systems TRIM ID: CD/12/522803 Date: 21 November 2012 Version: Final OFFICE of the EMERGENCY SERVICES COMMISSIONER Page i MINISTERIAL FOREWORD In early June this year, heavy rain and widespread flooding affected tens of thousands of Victorians across the central and eastern Gippsland region. The damage to towns and communities was widespread – particularly in the Latrobe City, Wellington and East Gippsland municipalities. Homes, properties and businesses were damaged, roads and bridges were closed, and more than 1500 farmers were impacted by the rains. A number of people were rescued after being trapped or stranded by the rising waters. Following the floods, some communities had a perception that telephone-based community warnings and information had failed them. As the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, I requested Victoria’s Emergency Services Commissioner to review the effectiveness, timeliness and relevance of the community information and warnings. This report has met my expectations and has identified the consequences and causes for the public’s perception. I welcome the review’s findings. I am confident these will, in time, lead to better and more effective arrangements for community information and warnings and contribute to a safer and more resilient Victoria.
