Behaviour Issues in CBD
We worked closely with Council and other organisations to solve the problem.
The installation of cameras was a major factor in achieving success. As members
of the Latrobe City CBD safety committee, we continue to represent the
Community.
Gippsland Band
Concert in Rose Garden
For the last two years Advance
Morwell has co-operated with the Morwell Brass Band to stage a combined Bands of
Gippsland Concert in the Rose Garden
Legacy Place
Our project for a
LEGACY
PLACE sign, information on Legacy, and the role in peacetime and in two World
Wars of its founder, Sir Stanley Savige, was completed in 2011.
Legacy Place is now a major Morwell heritage landmark.
Further Development of the Town Common.
Advance Morwell plays a major role on the committee of management. This year
the major achievement was the completion of the Picnic Shelter
by the Rotary Club of Morwell, and
installation of seating. Advance Morwell is urging Council to allocate funding
to complete all elements of the
4-stage plan for the Common, which includes extra parking areas, extension of
the barbecue shelter, tree planting and landscaping,
additional seating, an outdoor stage, and an all abilities playground.
Beautification of Morwell.
Wishing to build on the rose
theme we have provided planter boxes of roses in George and Tarwin Streets.
A further grant has been obtained from Latrobe City for further planter boxes to
be placed in Commercial Road.
In addition we plan to erect a banner in Church Street
celebrating the international flavour of that area.
Business Promotion.
Thanks to a grant from the
Victorian Government and the Latrobe City Council Advance Morwell has produced
"Shopping in and Around the Morwell CBD" All CBD businesses are
listed and have been given a copy of the booklet.
Reintroduction of Christmas Carols in
Morwell.
Working together with the Latrobe City Brass
Band and other music groups, we now stage a Christmas Carols event in
conjunction with St.Mary's Church
Northwest Housing Development Project.
Advance Morwell played a leading
role in successfully opposing TRUEnergy’s buffer zone claim that would have greatly reduced
the number of available housing blocks in this proposed development. A
major new housing development is now under way
Hard Waste Collection Service.
We strongly believe that the Hard Waste collection service is needed, and
continue to lobby Council to introduce a service which
meets the needs
of residents.
Cooperation with Council.
As a positive relationship is essential, we maintain close links with Council
where our advice and general representations are valued.
