Letter from Ray Miles
On Thursday the 12th of May a small township engagement meeting was held at the Goornong Recreation reserve Hall, as usual a very poor attendance, only seven local people attended. This meeting was well advertised.
As a result of this meeting a number of issues were discussed such as footpaths, roads, drainage, the swimming pool, speed limits, exhaust brakes signage and dangerous intersections in the area. As a result of the discussion a lot of jobs have been logged with a task number.
Also as a result of the meeting, Pauline Gordon who is the Director of Community Wellbeing at the City Of Greater Bendigo (who had only been in the job for four days) indicated that she would identify an appropriate staff member to meet with me to undertake a drive and a walk around Goornong to look at the main issues. So on the 28th of June, Pauline Gordon and Alex Malone the manager for presentation and works at the City Of Greater Bendigo, arrived in Goornong.
I spent approximately 2 hours with them showing them problems around the town and outlying areas. Alex noted a lot of the problems some large, some small. Things will not be fixed overnight but I hope that this may be a start to get some problems fixed.
If you have a problem large or small ring the City of Greater Bendigo on 5434 6000 and it can be dealt with and given a job number for further reference (be nice to the girls on the switch board, not like me).

GOORNONG COMMUNITY SWIMMING POOL
LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY
Recently, the committee put out a survey in the Goornong Guide, asking the community for their opinions as to the future direction of the Pool. We had NO response from this survey at all.
We feel that the community is underestimating the seriousness of the situation because the possibility of the pool closing is very, very real. We are asking for your help to avoid this happening.
The following positions exist and as of the next AGM all of them will be vacated and need to be filled:
President:
Vice President:
Secretary:
Treasurer:
Pump Manager:
Elmore Field Days Co-ordinator:
Cleaning Co-ordinator:
Kiosk Volunteer Co-ordinator:
Food Co-ordinator:
Grounds/Maintenance Manager
Life-Guard Co-ordinator:
At the moment, a few people are trying to do the work involved with all of these positions and it is basically impossible. Unless we have people willing to take responsibility for these positions, the pool cannot continue to operate, simply because we don’t have enough manpower to run it.
The next meeting is TUESAY NIGHT, the 9TH August at the Rec Reserve from 7.30pm. If you would like to have the pool continue, consider taking on one of these positions and come along to the next meeting. No-one wants to see the pool close as it is an important, and historical part of our community.
For further information please contact Tony Dillon on 54322220.
