At the A.G.M. all executive positions were filled. Penny Manning was re-elected as treasurer, I retained the convenor position, Dallas Wyatt declined re-election as secretary and Sue Woolley has now filled this position. A big thank you to Dallas for all the hard work he has done in the past year. Fortunately Dallas remains on the committee as do Nola Thorpe and Gordon Barrett. A very big thank you to long time committee members John Adam and Helen Dennis who have both resigned. Their contributions to the committee meetings will be sorely missed.

    Funding South Gippsland's Significant Roads

    Funding South Gippsland’s Significant Roads South Gippsland Shire Council will advocate for six significant road projects that would enhance the economic prosperity and liveability in South Gippsland. Advocacy efforts will be made to both the Victorian and Federal Governments to have the roads funded. The road projects identified include: • Leongatha Heavy Vehicle Alternate Route – Stage Two: Hughes Street, Leongatha • South Gippsland Highway – Coal Creek bends • Bass Highway – Leongatha to Anderson • South Gippsland Highway – Grassy Spur realignment • Strzelecki Highway – Crightons Hill realignment • Korumburra Streetscape – Commercial Street South Gippsland Shire Chair Administrator Julie Eisenbise highlighted the importance of having these roads funded for the South Gippsland community. “Our significant roads provide a vital connection for local businesses and residents as they conduct their everyday business. They also act as a gateway for visitors to our region who are ready to explore our natural wonders and local businesses. “Ensuring these roads remain in good condition can reduce additional freight costs, improve safety and provide a positive experience for our visitors who will be more likely to return. “We hope that the Victorian and Federal Governments are able to can support us in providing these wonderful projects for the community to improve our road network which in turn supports our local economy,” said Ms Eisenbise.

  • Help Shape a Better Bass Coast Community

    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.
