My
local City Council is different from many of my peers. This is the result of living far from school. My house is in the Monash
city Council although it borders the Council of White Horse. This means that my local community is split between the two areas.
Some happenings or changes in the City of Monash are:
Council
is providing a $10 subsidy to residents on the cost of micro chipping your dog and cat
Recycling
and green waste collection days 2006/2007
Monash
City Council has vacancies for the role of School Crossing Supervisor
Monash
Council has a 1 bedroom unit in Elizabeth Street, Burwood ready for occupancy
In the City Council of White, various other change occurred. Examples of such are listed below:
Whitehorse Rd and Tram
109
The
extension of tram route 109 along Whitehorse Rd has raised issues for cyclists with the installation of new platform stops. See
link (right) for more.
Gardeners Creek Trail
June
04. Bicycle Victoria has written to council to request that improvements are made to the Gardeners Creek Trail. Suggested improvement
includes:
·
Centre line marking to clearly define where
the trail goes, particularly at intersections with minor paths and at road crossings. The trail appears to 'disappear' in
places and it is not obvious where it continues.
·
Realigning the trail on the south side of
Burwood Rd to improve
the connection to the pedestrian crossing
·
Improving the connection of the trail at Box
Hill Golf Course between Station St and Sycamore St and make the existing on-road bits more legible.
Jan
03. Whitehorse council opened the Box Hill South section
of the Gardeners Creek trail. The trail runs from Canterbury Rd to Box Hill Golf Club, and then continues on local roads to meet
the existing path from Station St to Warrigal Rd (Mel way ref 61 E2-D3). This section of trail had previously been fenced off
from public access after concerns were raised by the Golf Club in May 2001.

Each of the listed changes are taken from their respective websites. To alter them would
void their legitimacy and possibly make them false
