Coming Up Roses At Emu Plains PS Recently a team of over 60 dedicated members of the Emu Plains Public School community shared a sunny autumnal Sunday sprucing up the grounds of their historic school. Under the expert direction of the P & C Committee, this amazing band of parents and children completed the front rose garden, planted natives around the Anniversary paver garden and weeded, pruned and mulched the other gardens at the school making it one of the most attractive in the area.

Council staff, was established to oversee the residential waste system and to ensure that the wider community is effectively engaged. There have been several changes made to improve the system. The red lidded bin can be picked up weekly. Biodegradable bags are being delivered and an additional fortnightly yellow recyclable bin is available. See page 7
Chocolate factory in Emu Heights Yes there is one although production is still very limited as the chocolate is hand made from the very beginning with the raw materials, roasting and processing cacao beans, then moulding it into a finished product. The business was recently featured in the Sydney Morning Herald Good Living magazine. See page 7
