Landcare community working bee – we need your help!

As many would be aware Philip Don for a long time has carried out mowing along the Kyneton-Heathcote Road at his expense and after all the cost of breakages due to rocks encountered Philip continues to carry out this task.

ln January of 2020, we experienced a grassfire that emanated from the long grass beside Lyell road caused by sparks from the exposed rim of a blown trailer tyre wheel. This fire threatened homes and livestock within 2km of Redesdale, and took many appliances and people to bring it under control. This event happened in this mid afternoon and the community including fire fighters and local residents came out to do battle with that fire.

The Heathcote-Kyneton Rd to Redesdale and Lyell Rd are now designated Over Dimension Transport routes, and large vehicles are on the road almost constantly increasing the likelihood of mishap. One way of diminishing the potential of mishap that we can control is reducing the fuel load along the verges of the main roads.

Landcare are proposing a combined working group of RaDA, Redesdale RFB and CVLG lnc. to investigate what the we can do, and how we can achieve it as a combined community activity. This will also include a request to Barfold Quarries to assist in removing rocks that have prevented and hindered roadside maintenance.

For full detail on activity proposed click here.

To get involved and be a part of upcoming working bees please contact Lin Newton at info@redesdale.net.

Practical Regenerative Agricultural Communities project

The Healthy Landscapes project

As part of the Healthy Landscapes: Practical Regenerative Agricultural Communities project a series of webinars and field days are scheduled so participants can hear the experiences first-hand of local farmers in our region:

  • Aaron Demeo – a third generation mixed farmer from Raywood
  • Paul Righetti – a fourth generation custodian of a farm in Yandoit
  • Darren Cater – a low input farmer from Monegeetta

The project has been developed to raise awareness in the community about sustainable land management practices that improve soil health, reduce exposure to climate risk, enhance biodiversity and increase on-farm productivity.  This program is being delivered as a partnership between Macedon Ranges Shire Council, Hepburn Shire Council, the City of Greater Bendigo, A Healthy Coliban Catchment project (North Central Catchment Management Authority and Coliban Water), Melbourne Water and the Upper Campaspe Landcare Network.

More information and links to book in for the webinars and register your attendance to the Field Days can be found below:

Imagine Greater Bendigo Stage 3

Hello,

Nine months ago, our Imagine Greater Bendigo project started by asking you all what you value most about living in Greater Bendigo now and what would make it better in 30 years from now. We also asked what you value most across seven key themes and invited a group of residents to come together for a weekend of brainstorming.

Well, with all your feedback we have developed the following plans and they’re ready for you to read:

  • Council Plan 2021 – 2025
  • Public Health and Wellbeing Plan
  • 10-year Financial Plan

Did we get it right? Did we hear you? Have your say via Let’s Talk Greater Bendigo https://letstalkgreaterbendigo.com.au/imagine  by Monday September 6.

Kind regards,

Imagine Greater Bendigo team

The City of Greater Bendigo is on Dja Dja Wurrung and Taungurung Country.
