Local Government and sustainability at Euroa

Local Government and sustainability will be discussed on Saturday in the next of the series of events for this “watershed year” organized by Strathbogie Voices.

The Saturday, March 21, event will be held from 11am – 3pm, at The Flour Mill, Kirkland Avenue, Euroa and with lunch is provided the cost is $15 each, and free for pensioners and students.

The group believes that 2015 is a watershed year for action on climate change. And what does this mean for the Strathbogie region, they ask?

Strathbogie Voices, together with the Euroa Environment Group, have put together a series of seminars on climate change and its associated impacts on issues such as business, health, biodiversity and fire.

Community participation will be at the core of this series.  Discussion, ideas, actions will all be developed.

Speaking on Saturday will be Winsome McCaughey, Mike Hill (formerly Mayor Moreland City Council), Lorna Pitt (formerly councillor Melbourne City Council), Janet Bolitho (former chair of the Local Sustainability Accord) with the Labor Government (State).
