| Hi everyone and Welcome to Winter,
Thanks to those who came along to our May 23 Meeting at the Raiders Club. It was great to see a mix of new and old faces in the familiar confines of the Raiders Function room.
Some of the issues discussed included:
– Woolies Carpark Consultation
– Wishlist’s for election projects
– How the Council works with local government
– How we can better engage our community.
Probably the most important piece of business was the acknowledgment of TOM ANDERSON, for his 14 years of commitment to this area in steering the Council. We also acknowledge his tireless efforts with shaping Molonglo Valley. He was elected to HONORARY LIFE MEMBERSHIP at the meeting and we thank him for his years in service.
We’ve listened to a lot of feedback that’s come in through our surveys, via social media and also face-to-face and we’re working hard to develop our relationships with local stakeholders. One of the overwhelming pieces of feedback from numerous sources was the desire to host some community markets.
We’re really pleased to announce that we’ve secured some funding to host a Brierly St Block Party in September this year and we’d love to invite the whole community to get on board with this!
This is an outstanding opportunity to have some serious fun in our local neighborhood and to celebrate the small joy of having Brierly St finished.
The event will be held on Saturday September 28 2024 and we have some really cool activities planned including:
- The Great Brierly St Bake off – for schools and community groups to enter. This is a chance for schools to fundraise and also – WIN PRIZES!
- a Best Dressed/Bike competition – to encourage active travel locally with a creative twist.
- Community Markets – an opportunity to teach our kids about sustainability and living within our means. We’d love to hear from community groups who’d like to host a FREE stall to raise funds.
- Local Live Music
We are in the planning stages and are now doing a call out for volunteers, local businesses, sponsors and community groups who’d love to participate and contribute to an awesome day out for our community.
Please get in touch with us if you’d like to participate in any way.
ALL WELCOME.
Please not we do not have a Council meeting in June as we’re busy planning but we will have a coffee catchup at 10am – Saturday 22nd June at Cafe Au Lait if anyone wants to catch up.
Seen you soon,
Simone
on behalf of
Weston Creek Community Council |
