The Maiden Gully Progress Association expresses its deep regret at the sudden passing of Donna Nicholas, our local Ward Councillor, and extends heartfelt condolences to her family and fellow Councillors.

Donna had only recently begun her journey as our City of Greater Bendigo Lockwood Ward Councillor. After winning a closely contested election she attended all our meetings, listened carefully, and ensured our requests were presented to Council. In a short time, we established a strong and constructive working relationship, and we can confidently say that Donna looked like achieving excellent representation for Maiden Gully..

Her dedication, warmth, and commitment to our community will be sadly missed.

As good community neighbours, the Maiden Gully Progress Association proudly supports Ajay Mishra’s petition calling for a public bus service to Marong.

A reliable connection between Maiden Gully, Marong and Bendigo would strengthen our region, support local businesses, improve access to schools and health services, and help both communities grow together.

Marong is expanding rapidly — and a bus service isn’t just overdue, it’s essential. We stand with Ajay and the many residents who have already added their names to this important call for action.

So please add your name to Ajay Mishra’s submission — every signature strengthens the case for a fair, reliable bus service connecting Marong, Maiden Gully and Bendigo. Our local businesses, families, students and seniors all stand to benefit from better access and better connections.
