Moreland Community Budget

Hi all,

 

I have been involved in supporting a project proposal to install 35 seats along the Moreland sections of the Merri Creek Trail as part of the Moreland’s Community Budget ideas program. These seats will give people a chance to stop, rest, connect with themselves, nature and each other, and take in more of our beautiful creek. Each seat will also have signage highlighting 1 indigenous plant, bird or animal that calls the creek home.

 

If any of these ideas also resonate with you please vote for this project through Moreland’s Community Budget voting site. Moreland Council will consider funding the proposals with the most votes and you don’t have to be a Moreland resident to vote.

 

To vote follow these steps:

1. Go to: https://conversations.moreland.vic.gov.au/community-budget-ideas/stage-2-support-fund-it-version
2. You need to Log In or Join (This ensures people only vote once)
3. Select our project Merri Creek Trail: Seating Installation Blitz
4. You need to vote for three proposals, so please choose another two.

Voting closes on March 20, so you have 5 days left to vote!

 

Also, just a reminder that every Friday morning from 9.30 am – 11.30 am you can join the working bee led by Ian down at the eastern Merri Creek end of Ida Street in Coburg North for some weeding, mulching and indigenous plant sign painting. Zoe is also leading a working bee at the Rocky Outcrop at Coburg Lake (north side of lake between the toilets and flying fox park) from 9.30 am – 10.30 am on the first Wednesday of every month. The next Rocky Outcrop session will be Wednesday 6^th of April, 9.30 am – 10.30 am. No need to RSVP, just turn up with your own gloves.

 

And please, if you like the idea of more seating along the Merri Creek, don’t forget to vote for the Merri Creek Trail: Seating Installation Blitz  https://conversations.moreland.vic.gov.au/community-budget-ideas/stage-2-support-fund-it-version

 

 

Warm regards,

Emma
