Melton City Council hosted a Community Building Workshop in April which was well attended and helped to identify some key projects, potential activities and future aspirations for Diggers Rest.
The Workshop provided an opportunity for residents to make an evaluation of community resources homing in on existing community attributes with the view of better utilising these resources.
Some of these have been summarised to include assets of organisations, associations and individual contributions. All of these too numerous to expand upon.
Community strengthening was the primary focus which highlighted the main themes as infrastructure and services, economic development, beautification, planning and development and community-based activities.
“More for Youth” was a common topic for discussion which featured strongly across the main themes.
Along with a series of community-based activities, beautification of the township was a focal point and recognised as an effective means to improvements.
As part of the 2015/16 municipal budget, Council approved a funding submission for landscaping works at the Bulla – Diggers Rest Road Interchange.
Preliminary discussions have commenced in an effort to incorporate the landscaping works into a start-up project engaging the community.
The next follow-up meeting to the Community Building Workshop will be held at the Family Services Centre, Plumpton Road Diggers Rest at 6:30pm Friday May 27, 2016.
Everyone is welcome.
