Support for the community<\/strong>
\nA big thanks to everyone who took the time to read through the Draft 2020-21 Budget to give their feedback. I know it\u2019s a long read so I can appreciate the effort that many community members made before consultation closed!
\nIn case you haven\u2019t had the chance to browse through the projects and initiatives proposed for your area, I\u2019ll take you through a handful.
\nRecently council endorsed the Drysdale Sporting Precinct Master Plan, after close consultation with sporting clubs and groups, residents and schools.
\nThe plan maps out medium and long-term upgrades to the site, including a new premier soccer field, two netball courts, a new multi-purpose field and district level playground.
\nAs part of the proposed budget, council has allocated $215,000 to get the master plan up and running.
\nAs chair of the Rural and Coastal portfolio, I\u2019m particularly excited by the $160,000 set aside for the development of a Southeast Bellarine Coastal Reserve Strategy.
\nThis is all about putting together a panel of experts and stakeholders to look at options to combine the Buckley Park Coastal Reserve, which stretches between Ocean Grove and Point Lonsdale, and the Lake Victoria wetlands. This would result in a better protected wildlife park.
\nThere\u2019s also $63,000 proposed for our beloved Drysdale Potato Shed to help renew the facility. This funding will give the arts and culture hub a massive boost as it recovers from coronavirus restrictions.
\nAs you can see, these proposed allocations cover a range of different fields. With a $161.2 million capital works program, the focus has been on delivering shared paths, and other facilities and initiatives that the community has been asking for in an equitable and accessible manner.
\nThe draft budget is aimed at supporting the community and local job market through and out of the pandemic.
\nThe next step in the process will be for the public feedback to be reviewed by the Council Submissions Panel next month, before coming to council for consideration.
\nThe plan is for council to adopt the final budget on June 30.
\nWe need your input!<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m pleased there\u2019s been another extension of an online survey, which is part of the City\u2019s study into the feasibility of an information and livestock exchange.
\nI should add that the draft budget has set aside $150,000 towards the business case and phase one of implementing this project, which is very pleasing!
\nThere\u2019s eight days left for farmers and landholders who have horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs or chickens etc to have their say. The survey covers those within the City of Greater Geelong, but also extends to those in the Surf Coast Shire and Golden Plains Shire.
\nWe\u2019ve had a great response so far, with more than 200 surveys filled out, but we need more to get a full picture of what information farmers and landholders need to run their property and get stock to market.
\nPlease head to geelongaustralia.com.au\/yoursay<\/a> or use the City of Greater Geelong app to help us, help you.
\nWhile you\u2019re there, you might also notice the Draft Environment Strategy 2020-2030 is up for feedback.
\nIt\u2019s worth taking a look at the City\u2019s goals to protect our much-loved and unique environment from the effects of climate change and population growth.
\nThere\u2019s also a handy interactive map in the Draft Social Infrastructure Plan consultation, that gives you a chance to explore all the projects and facilities that are planned for your area over the next three years. These can include sporting facilities, libraries, community halls and parks.
\nIsolation busters<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s great that state coronarvirus restrictions have eased but as we know, life isn\u2019t even close to being back to normal and we must continue to follow the guidelines that keep us safe.
\nThe pandemic has turned everything upside down and that often means our healthy routines are out of whack.
\nWhile you\u2019re keeping warm at home, I suggest you take a look at the City\u2019s new website called \u2018Healthy at Home\u2019.
\nIt\u2019s an online toolkit full of fact-checked information and practical tips to live a healthy lifestyle, including meal planners, shopping lists, meditation exercises, workouts and information about respectful relationships.
\n\u2018Healthy at Home\u2019 can be found here: geelongaustralia.com.au\/healthyathome<\/a><\/p>\n
