Northern Development Update Jan 2020

Planning Scheme Amendment C136 will be going on public exhibition on 15^th Jan for a six week period. Documents will be available online or at the Council office. There will be two community consultation sessions, the first on Mon 27^th Jan in Cape Paterson. We will provide an update later this week.

PLEASE DONATE TO OUR FIGHTING FUND

As detailed at the AGM on 12th Jan we are asking for donations to pay for an “expert witness” to strategically justify and argue the case to reduce the Northern town boundary. We also hope to have some legal representation at the Planning Panel hearing later this year. This will cost some thousands of dollars so please donate if you can.

HOW TO DONATE: Either by bank transfer, identifying yourself in the “Remitter” field to: BSB: 633 000 A/C No: 1309 56113 Remitter: your “surname-initials” Or, by cheque payable to “Cape Paterson Residents & Ratepayers Association”, and posted to: The Secretary, Cape Paterson Residents & Ratepayers Association, PO Box 280 Wonthaggi VIC 3995

We’d prefer a surname with the bank transfer so we can acknowledge donations but it is not essential if you’d rather it was anonymous.

Working Bee 8 June 2019

A beautiful slightly crispy cool morning saw twenty three keen volunteers come out to do some preparation in areas we will be planting in next month. One group went over the plantings from last year to check, weed around, remove guards or re-guard.  The other group did some grunt work and made some space for planting next month at the far eastern end of undertow bay in the scrubland and gullies.
