MAGNESIUM - THE HEALTH BENEFITS

Popular myths, and health guidelines. Does magnesium impact on heart, brain, energy, and bone health? How much is enough, what sort is the better, what foods are high in magnesium? And where is it naturally found. These topics will be touched on in this workshop.

We will talk a little, anatomy, a little biology, and a little chemistry. Learn that our body regulates magnesium, our body doesn’t make magnesium, and the amount needed at different stages in life. No matter what stage you are at, this workshop will support you in making good choices about magnesium.

In this 2-hour workshop we explore how the body uses Magnesium, the different types of Magnesium, which foods are high in magnesium, what potentially depletes your reserves and when and why you might top up.

The workshop concludes with an understanding of the Australian standards of recommended intake for dietary Magnesium. Concluding with a guided demonstration on how to make your own magnesium spray at home.

YOGA, MEDITATION & SENIORS MOVEMENT CLASSES

If you have never tried yoga before because you are worried about your flexibility or fitness - then these are the exact class for you. Start as an absolute beginner at any stage and Byron Yoga Centre trained teacher, Alana Rushton will guide you through gentle to more dynamic stretches. The Hatha-style classes are varied and cater for everyone- the hardest part is making that decision to leave the warm house as the weather cools down - but your body, mind and soul will be rewarded for the effort.

Mayors Message

It has been a big start to 2023 with plenty of new projects and initiatives underway across the shire.

Reflection on 2022, October and November saw Victoria experience record rainfall which has put a renewed spotlight on our roadways. We all know how devastating floodwaters can be, and a huge task it is to rebuild, so I just wanted to take a moment to thank council’s outdoor maintenance teams who have been working tirelessly to reinstate our roadways and other community infrastructure.

Since the unprecedented high rainfall, we have reinstated over 100 roadways with works continuing throughout 2023.

I always appreciate and acknowledge the great work they do and on behalf of my fellow Councillors, I would like to personally thank them as they continue to rebuild and repair our roads across our shire.

Council is committed to engaging with residents on local issues to get a better understanding of the things that matter in the community. I invite All residents to take the opportunity to talk to myself and my fellow Councillors at the Council’s Listening Posts that are to be held across the Shire in 2023. Throughout 2023, Council Listening Posts will be held at Inverleigh, Bannockburn, Linton and Smythesdale with the first to get underway on Saturday 112th March 2023 from 9.30am till 11.00am at the Inverleigh Food Swap (outside of Sonny Café)

For further information on the Council’s Listening Posts to be held throughout 2023, visit Council’s website: goldenplains.vic.gov.au.

Council’s Community Strengthening Grants program is also back in 2023, with applications for the first round open until Friday 31st March.

Grants of up to $10,000 will be available in 4 categories: Healthy Active Living, to support Recreation, sport, health and well being projects; Creative Community, to support arts and cultural projects; Environment and Sustainability, to support projects that equip communities to be safe and resilient and Community Safety, to support the community’s capacity, resilience and connection to plan for, rebuild and recover from emergencies or ongoing risks.

To support the community in applying for a Community Strengthening Grant, council is running drop in sessions across the Shire.

Drop in sessions will be held at the Bannockburn Cultural Centre, 25-27 High Street Bannockburn from 4-6pm on Tuesday 7 March and at the Well, 19 Heales Street, Smythesdale from 4-6pm Tuesday 21 March.

Council is looking forward to seeing the exciting grant applications and helping to make them a reality.

I am really excited about the future of our Shire, and I hope you are too.

Mayor Councillor Brett Cunningham.
