PARKING IN MARYBOROUGH'S CBD

Since early August, Council’s Local Laws team have been patrolling the Maryborough CBD issuing warnings to motorists who overstay in time-designated spaces and who use disabled bays when not permitted to do so.

This month, fines will be issued for those not complying with restrictions.

This approach complements the Maryborough Police, who have recently been enforcing parking in loading zones and no standing areas.

We urge community members to support these changes, which will increase the turnover of car parking spaces and better support our local business community.

IMMUNISATIONS

Our Immunisation Team is running free immunisation sessions in Talbot and Dunolly from now until November.

The sessions are free for all vaccinations on the National Immunisation Programs, and for all ages.

Our sessions are to focus on reaching those who may not travel regularly into Maryborough and to ensure vaccinations are readily available for everyone.

ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Help shape the Shire's play spaces

We want families, carers, children and young people of all cultures, identities and abilities to use and enjoy the play spaces in our Shire.

Through our Places for Play Strategy, we are looking to ensure they continue to meet the changing needs of our community both now and into the future.

This initial community engagement aims to understand what play space locations are being used, what design elements (equipment, trees etc.) are missing, and what new play space areas or designs the community wishes to have.

To learn more about the survey and have your say, visit: www.engage.cgoldshire.vic.gov.au/playspaces
