The City of Greater Bendigo is undertaking a flood study in Goornong and waterway studies in Heathcote and Epsom/Huntly and is inviting residents from those areas to attend a community workshop.
City of Greater Bendigo Climate Change and Environment Manager Michelle Wyatt said information gathered at the workshops will inform the studies and will also help to identify local emergency risks and potential community actions.
“We really want to hear about the experiences of residents living in these areas so that we understand the community’s concerns, the studies reflect what actually happens on the ground and we can start to identify solutions together,” Ms Wyatt said.
“The workshops will allow residents to have their voice heard and play a role in creating a safer, more connected future in their communities.”
The workshops will be facilitated by independent external consultants and will take place at:
Heathcote Bowls Club
5.30pm to 8pm – Tuesday October 21
Goornong Memorial Hall
5.30pm to 8pm – Wednesday November 5
Epsom Huntly Recreation Reserve
5.30pm to 8pm – Thursday November 6
The workshops are funded by the Australian Government Disaster Ready Fund, Emergency Recovery Victoria Community Recovery Hubs Program, Australian and Victorian Governments State and Regional Priority Projects Grant Program.
