From Frank Crameri THE KOO WEE RUP BLACKFISH JULY 2012 FRIDAY, 22 JUNE 2012 THE TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES (Edited Extracts) The Township held its monthly meeting on Wednesday, 6 June. Township Meetings are open to anyone who would like to attend. The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, 4 July at 7:30 pm at the Community Centre. The president, Frank Crameri, reflected on the sad note of resignation received from Jack Nunn. He said that Jack’s resignation, due to ill health, would be a big gap to fill. Jack always did an excellent job communicating with the Shire and getting things done quickly and thoroughly. He will be sorely missed. The president said that at the recent meeting of Bypass landowners, he had talked to Edward O’Donohue MLC, on the subject of ‘Gas for Koo-Wee-Rup’. The secretary had then written to Edward and had asked him if he would address the July meeting of the Township Committee on this subject. Edward had declined, saying that he was unavailable on that date. The secretary was asked to write to Edward again and ask him to address the August meeting of the Committee. The president expressed his disappointment in the response of VicRoads to our letter about the obvious dangers of the recently built pedestrian crossing in Station Street. Dennis Divola asked why there was no wire mesh fence to guide pedestrians to the crossing and also why no fence on the refuge in the centre of the road? Our guest from VicRoads, Charlie Broadhurst, said that he would talk to his VicRoads colleagues about the reason why no fence is installed at this crossing and he will let us know the outcome. Ray Brown asked if the second roll-out for State gas projects had been finalised yet. Cr. Halligan replied simply – not yet. However he said that the Shire Council has been pushing hard trying to get a gas off-take, from the main pipeline into Bayles for a large user Company, resident in the Town. The Council is also endeavouring to get a potable water line from the proposed new water off-take in Koo-Wee-Rup at the same time. If this took place then it could be that a gas pipeline would continue to Koo-Wee-Rup. A short discussion took place about the need for continued ongoing contact with our politicians and the Minister on the subject. The secretary was asked to write again to Peter Ryan MP, Minister for Regional and Rural Development, and ask for an update on ‘Gas for Koo-Wee-Rup’.

Although there has been no specific reply to our letter of complaint, the potholes were filled in but are now as bad as ever. Cr. Halligan said he had spoken to Paul Richardson, Manger, Assets and Development, and he had said there was an unresolved conflict about who should pay for sealing this short stretch of roadway. At present the Council wants the residents to pay 1/3 and the council will pay the other 2/3 of the costs. Cr. Halligan said that he had asked for a report on the progress and he will advise the outcome at our next meeting in July. The president introduced to the meeting Charlie Broadhurst, Project Director, and Rob Pearson, Team Leader, Project Delivery, representing VicRoads, their report on the proposed Koo Wee Rup Bypass is detailed on page 3. Introducing Cr. Halligan and his report, the president welcomed the Councillor back to the regular meetings of the Committee after an absence of three months. Cr. Halligan commenced by giving the meeting news about the proposed removal of the Railway House in Cochrane Park. He said that the intended removal to Bayles Fauna Park had generated lots of ‘red tape’ from the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) and could not be located to the Park.
