The Radicle Root Community Garden (near playground on DeChene Reserve below Bell St) has spare fairly recent chicken wire now that they removed fences. Come and get some or take the lot before this Saturday. What is left goes to tip recycling.

Can You Help?
Can you help a refugee family of 4 to find accomodation and work?
A refugee family of 4 have just been given 2 weeks notice of a bridging visa after 8 years in community detention. Good that they can work now. Bad that they now are days away from having no home or income. So looking for both accommodation and work. The dad has construction/gardening skills and will soon have a white card. The 20yo woman went to secondary school locally, has lots of volunteer admin and events experience. The 18yo boy has just finished VCE. Yes, they have tried ASRC etc but time is not on their side so pulling out all stops.
Any suggestions or leads, please contact Kate who will pass on:
kate@vouch.com.au or 0401 170 932.

Hello, Neighbours!
We are a 2-person family (mum and 4yo) looking for a rental property in the area starting in April this year. We’ve been fortunate enough to make this wonderful community our home, and we’re hoping to find a new place nearby where we can continue to build on the relationships and memories we’ve cherished here.
We’re a family with a strong commitment to our local community. I work as a Clinical Nurse Consultant, and my son is currently enrolled at Barry Beckett (aiming to go to Newlands PS next year with all his friends). We are looking for a 2-bedroom property, with at least a small amount of outdoor space.
We love everything about this area — the people, the connections, the creek, the businesses, and the sense of belonging we’ve developed. We’re looking for a long-term rental property where we can continue to nurture these important ties and grow as a family. I take great pride in maintaining a home, whether it’s decorating or tending to the garden. I believe these qualities would make us an excellent match for any landlord or property manager who values tenants who care for their home with respect and attention to detail.
We are proud pet owners of a well-behaved dog and cat, both of whom have been part of our family for over five years. They’re calm, friendly, and always under control. Neither has caused any damage or disruptions, and we ensure they’re well-cared for at all times. We understand the importance of being responsible pet owners and take every measure to keep them well-behaved and respectful of our home and neighbours.
We are seeking a place that we can truly call home — a property where we can continue to enjoy our family life, foster strong relationships with our neighbours, and continue being active, positive members of this amazing community. Our goal is to find a home that we can stay in long-term, bringing stability and care to the property while continuing to contribute to the neighbourhood.
If you’re looking to transfer a lease or rent out your property from April, we’d love to hear from you! Happy to provide multiple rental and employment references.
Thanks for reading!
