Lest we forget
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Exciting debut for our local @melbournemavericks Netball team on Sunday against the Vixens. April plays netball locally but has never been to a professional game, so it was her debut as well.
What better way to celebrate Ferrari’s Grand Prix win but two delicious Pizza’s from @ferraripizza , just a short walk from our home. Always hits the spot.
What a difference 18 months and $26.7 million dollars can do.
TODAY from 4pm; A free 5 hour music festival in the local party, 29 degrees, food vans, face painting, dancing and KAIJU Beer on tap.
Happy International Women’s Day to all the women out there and thank-you for everything that you do.
I have a confession to make; this is one of my favourites organisations in @monashcouncil - The Monash Oakleigh Community & Information Service .

Awesome day down at Kingsway, Glen Waverley, celebrating Chinese New Year - the year of the Dragon. Plenty of things to do for people young and old with dozens of marquees, tents and delicious food.
Some pictures from the brief storm in Clayton earlier this week. The amount of beautiful mature trees we’ve lost across the municipality is devastating. It will take a decade before new trees grow to the height required to replace coverage.
City of Monash and the SES Monash Unit aren’t the only ones working in override this week. A big thanks to the United Energy crews who are working day and night to restore power to hundreds and thousands of homes.
A big thank-you to our local @vicsesnews volunteers.
Today is my favourite day of the year; Pancake (Shrove) Tuesday!
Recycling cans and glass bottles for some extra pocket money, just like we did in the 80’s when I was growing up. There’s a big drop off centre right here in Oxford Street, Oakleigh.
The very first motion I put to Council following the 2020 election was to deliver on a commitment to establish an LGBTIQA+ advisory committee and action plan.
🎉🥳 SAVE THE DATE - 2024 Clayton Festival! 🥳🎉
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Unfortunately we didn’t get the chocolates this time around, but extremely proud of how the Mavs went in their first game playing together.
The next home game is at 7pm on Sat 27th at John Cain Arena - get on board!

Ripping people there as well, even if they do barrack for Richmond (no one’s perfect).

It was an incredible privilege as Mayor to turn the first sod at the Glen Waverley Sports Hub back in Sept 2022 with then local MP @mattfregonmp
It was even more amazing to be there on the weekend to see the finished product. 18 tournament quality Tennis Courts and a brand new multipurpose multilevel function centre, housing both the Glenvale Tennis Club and the Glen Waverley Golf Club with picturesque views, cafe, pro shop, virtual facilities and so much more.
Investing in Tennis and Golf for generations to come. Turn left as you enter Jells Park off Waverley Road - it’s well worth a visit.

Where else would you be?

We’ve made a heap of progress towards achieving gender equity, particularly over the last two decades, but we still have so much to do.
A pleasure to join the Glen Waverley Rotary to hear from Ms Tania Farha the CEO of Safe and Equal, the pinnacle domestic violence support organisation in Victoria. The statistics are still abhorrent and we must do more.
If you see something, call it out or report it. Together, we can make lasting change.
Volunteers providing food, legal advice and services to the less vulnerable people in our community. Since 2016, they’ve received an increase in visitors of 43%, with no funding increase.
Last week they celebrated their 50th anniversary - that’s older than I am - which amounts to more than 210,000 volunteer hours.
Congratulations to an amazing team. They’re in Downing Street, Oakleigh, and always looking for help!
The festival runs until 9pm - pop on down for dinner.
I’ve lost count of the number of “unprecedented” weather events we’ve had over the past five years This is why we’re working hard to reduce our impacts on the environment. We must do better.
Negating the impact of significant weather events like this are one of the main reasons Council has committing to zero net emissions by 2025, which includes landfill contribution reductions.
The damage across Monash is significant, with some people requiring emergency accomodation.
Council’s outdoor crews are already clearing roads and are working in tandem with SES. There are many Council facilities without power, including our main operations centre.
So far we’ve had more than 360 call-outs and we expect this to continue today.
Please be patient as we work to clear the damage - it may take a few days.
Lucky we don’t just stick to roads, rates and rubbish.
This pic is an oldie, but guess what we’ll be having for dinner? 🥞🤤😋
It was incredibly heartwarming to see the buy-in right across our community in establishing our initial plan, which was endorsed by Council, with implementation underway.
And we’re on track to become the first Council in Australia to obtain Rainbow Tick Accreditation.
Because who you are, or who you love, is irrelevant. In Monash, and right across our great country, everyone is equal, welcome and respected.
