If you’re a Food truck vendor this might interest you. Prime venue, at least over the warmer months.
Contact Federation Council for details.

Im thinking early morning starts as it gets very hot later in the day. Early might mean tradie traffic as well.
Hmm, coffee and donuts, toasties, juices, icecreams, what do you think?

Well, here’s a tiny piece of progress! Here’s to a lot more 🤞🏽

Huge news for the border communities of Yarrawonga and Mulwala! In a monumental win for our region, the Victorian Government has officially endorsed the ‘Green’ route as the preferred alignment for the new Yarrawonga-Mulwala River Crossing.

For the first time, all four government bodies - Federation Council, Moira Shire Council, and the Victorian and NSW State Governments - are officially aligned. 🤝

👉 Why this matters:

🟢 Unified Vision: This provides the certainty needed to move toward the design phase.

🟢Long-term Growth: The 'Green' route was identified as the most efficient option for our twin towns' future.

🟢Community Advocacy: This milestone is a credit to the years of persistence from local residents who never gave up on advocating for this vital transport link.

While funding is the next mountain to climb, having a single, agreed-upon path forward is the breakthrough we’ve been waiting for!

Thousands of campers across Victoria are being ordered to pack up and leave ahead of catastrophic fire conditions on Friday.

Holiday parks and riverfront campgrounds - including sites along the Goulburn and Murray rivers, Lake Eildon, the Grampians and the Great Ocean Road - are among those affected.

Forest Fire Management Victoria has warned that people must be out before 7am, stressing that it will not be survivable to shelter if a fire hits.

Large areas of public land will close, with rangers patrolling today and tomorrow to direct people to leave.

“It is not survivable if you are caught in a bushfire under those conditions,” said Forest Fire Management Victoria chief Chris Hardman.

“You will be killed before the fire gets to you under these conditions.”

Update Saturday 10 January: Many parks are reopening today, but many other parks remain closed due to ongoing fire activity.
