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).
