Recommendation Sought

Untitled-2


Hi,

I am trying to get any recommendations for builders who are relatively local to quote for renovations to our house in Coburg.

Can anyone help?

Obviously, we don't want any cowboys, please!

Big thanks,
Susi.

No Northern Incinerator

Untitled-2


Community Gathering to find out about the Incinerator Plans for Melbourne's North

There are plans to build a huge garbage Incinerator in Wollert - Just 16km away from Newlands. It is to burn 380,000 tonnes of industrial and residential garbage. Not far from the Merri Creek and only 15km from Yan Yean Reservoir, our drinking water source.

This is shocking and will affect us over time if it goes ahead. These incinerators are banned from the whole of Sydney and Canberra and yet they want to build one here.

Do come on Saturday if you can & be at the launch of our short film.   

2.45 in beautiful Dorreen - Just near Yan Yean. 

Or better still put in an objection to the EPA at https://engage.vic.gov.au/project/cleanaway-operations-pty-ltd-app024914/participate   You can do it in 5 min!

Hey!

We are a bilingual (Spanish/English) family of four including David, Charlotte, Henry (14 months) and Willow (our well-trained and socialised cavoodle) based in the the Macedon Ranges.

We are interested in house sitting in Newlands area and surrounds, &/or a share-house with another family or family friendly people/co-housing, &/or sharing a property with more than one independent dwelling. 

We are a nurse-educator/actor/dancer and a musician/somatic therapist/facilitator. We are currently wanting to live part-time in the Macedon Ranges and part-time in Merri-Bek/Darebin - we aren’t sure if we will continue doing this 50/50 thing or land in one spot later down the track.

You can get in touch with Charlotte 0432 550 460 if something aligns with you!

Hi,

I am looking for accommodation (a spare room or a rental unit/granny flat/share accommodation or house sitting) from the end of May until the end of September for a responsible PHD student from Melbourne University who needs temporary accommodation before he goes to the UK to continue with his research.

He is easy-going, neat and tidy, non-smoker, no pets, and will commute to Carlton most days.  

You can contact me (Veni on  0409 164 626). 

Free

I am demolishing my bathroom.

I have some off-white wall tiles - mostly broken (good for mosaics) but some full tiles (30x30). Not a large amount. If you want some text me on 0434 266 303.

I also have some old shower screen panels (if you want for metal or glass???- dirty and no seals).  I will have an old toilet and sink if anyone wants them for any reason. Otherwise, they're going to the tip.

FoEC Meeting

Untitled-2


Hello FoEC'ers and Friends,

This message is to advise that there will be a Special General Meeting of FoEC on Sunday, April 14th at 10.00AM at the Kodak Bridge (Spectrum Way, Coburg North).

The business of this meeting relates to the recent news we have received that we are no longer insured under our existing insurance arrangements via our Friends of Merri Creek membership and recognition as a subgroup.

We will discuss the options that are open to FoEC to move forward with activities along the Edgars Creek Corridor for 2024 and beyond.

We need a quorum of at least 5 signed up members for the meeting to proceed so if you can make it, we'd love to see you and hear your thoughts on the future of FoEC.

See you on the Creek!

Regards,
David
President
Friends of Edgars Creek
