The equipment is intended to benefit all age groups, genders and fitness levels.<\/p>\n<p>The Victorian Government will provide $127,000 and work with the Rotary Club of Queenscliff and Council to help make their idea a reality. During the five-week voting period, over 95,000 Victorians cast votes for their favourite project ideas in their local community. The installation of outdoor fitness units received 161 votes out of a total 375 public votes made across all projects within the Borough of Queenscliffe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ron Tandberg Artist Board<\/strong><br \/>\nCouncil is very proud to host the launch of a new Artist Board honouring the work of cartoonist and illustrator Ron Tandberg.<\/p>\n<p>The launch will take place at 11am on Sunday October 21 2018 at the Ferry to Pier boardwalk, between the Queenscliff Harbour and the Queenscliff Pier.

That&#8217;s why the Victorian Government is running the \u2018Ladder Safety Matters\u2019 campaign, to prevent serious injury and deaths from domestic ladder falls. This campaign encourages older men to make safety matter when using a ladder, as well as considering the consequences of unsafe ladder use \u2013 not just the risk of a fall, but what could happen after a fall. Practicing ladder safety will help older Victorians remain active and independent.<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit betterhealth.vic.gov.au\/laddersafety.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Neighbourhood House events<\/strong><br \/>\nThe below events are starting soon at the Queenscliffe Neighbourhood House:<br \/>\nFree hearing tests<br \/>\nDate: Monday October 15<br \/>\nTime: Between 10am and 12pm<br \/>\nReserve your appointment now<br \/>\nConducted by Australian Hearing<br \/>\n\u2018War on Waste\u2019 workshops<br \/>\nTaking the war on waste to a whole new level!<\/p>\n<p>Come along as we take a household room by room view of where we use single use plastics and explore alternatives that will help us live more sustainably.
