FIN?
*NEW FINDINGS : BASIC NOTE LACK OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN AGENCIES ARE PROVEN BASED ON EXPERIENCE IN RUNNING THE EVENT (A DAY @ THE CREEK) NEITHER AGENCY HAS THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE LOCK HAS BEEN CHANGED AND WHO HOLDS THE KEY TO THE LOCK FOR THE MOONEE PONDS CREEK-MACAULAY SOUTH AND WEST GATE
THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING PASSIONATE INDIVIDUALS WITH THE RIGHT SKILL SET INVOLVED (EXTRACTING THROUGH EVENTS) NOT ALL INDIVIDUAL PRESENT AT THE EVENT IS PASSIONATE ON TRYING TO MAKE A CHANGE. ARGUMENTS OCCURRED DURING DISCUSSION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE RUBBISH TRAP.
