Stand for the 2024 council elections

Victorian councils, including Whitehorse, will hold scheduled local government elections on Saturday 26 October.

Elections are held every 4 years. The elections are an opportunity for Victorians to elect the candidates who they think best represent, at the local level, their vision and interests for a better, stronger and more sustainable future.

The Municipal Association of Victoria is conducting information sessions for anyone who is interested in standing for October’s elections. The next available session is on Monday 19 August, hosted by Manningham City Council. To register, visit mav.asn.au/stand-for-council-2024

Plan for Victoria

There is still time to provide feedback on the Victorian Government’s new draft planning strategy called Plan for Victoria.

The Plan will establish how 800,000 new homes can be delivered over a decade to accommodate population growth. This could have significant impacts in the east of Melbourne.

You can give initial ideas to the State Government on four topics including affordable housing and choice, equity and jobs, thriving and liveable suburbs and towns, and sustainable environments and climate action. You can also comment on the recent release of housing targets for each municipality, including a proposed 79,000 additional dwellings for Whitehorse by 2051, which is more than double the number of homes in our municipality currently.

In addition to being part of a regional submission with the Eastern Region Group of Councils, Whitehorse City Council will be preparing a separate submission that will be considered at a future Council meeting.

L You can provide feedback until Friday 30 August at engage.vic.gov.au/developing-a-new-plan-for-victoria

Tell us what you think about our Open Space Strategy

Whitehorse is home to more than 350 parks, 170 playgrounds and 20 bushland reserves.

These precious green spaces are vital to the health and wellbeing of our community and our environment.

We have developed a Draft Whitehorse Open Space Strategy to help guide the protection and enhancement of these spaces over the next 15 years.

Key proposed features of the strategy include:

▪ developing new public open spaces

▪ expanding existing open spaces

▪ recommendations for each existing open space.

We are seeking your feedback on the draft strategy. We want to know if you support the recommended actions and whether you feel there is room for improvement.

You are encouraged to have your say by Friday 30 August

If you prefer to give feedback over the phone, please call us on 9262 6371.

L To share your feedback and find out more, visit yoursay.whitehorse.vic.gov.au or scan the QR code.

Have your say on indoor sports

What indoor sports do you play and love?

▪ Basketball

▪ Calisthenics

▪ Gymnastics

▪ Martial arts

▪ Futsal

▪ Netball (indoor and covered outdoor)

▪ Volleyball

▪ Indoor cricket

Whitehorse Community Satisfaction Survey

Whitehorse has improved and in many instances outperformed both state and metropolitan averages, in the 2024 Community Satisfaction Survey.

The survey provides insights into how our services are performing compared with other councils in Victoria. It identifies what we are doing well and areas for improvement.

We achieved an overall performance score of 66, which is considerably higher than the statewide score of 54 and metropolitan average of 63.

Compared with our metropolitan counterparts throughout the state, we achieved significantly higher ratings for waste management (74) and the condition of sealed local roads (65). In fact, we outperformed the state average in 16 out of 18 service areas evaluated.

We are committed to continuous improvement and will use the findings from the survey to identify ways we can better serve our community.

L Search ‘community satisfaction survey’ on our website to read the full report or scan the QR code to find out more.

The plan will provide a clear direction to meet current and future indoor sporting needs of the Whitehorse community.

Fill in our online survey by Friday 30 August.

Phone us on 9262 6371 if you need help or would like a survey posted to you.

Eastern Emergency Relief Network – the great recyclers using renewable energy

This month’s Green Living Champion, Eastern Emergency Relief Network (EERN), started from humble beginnings through the actions of Keith Rooney, a former Councillor and Mayor from Nunawading Council.

Keith used to rescue useable furniture from hard rubbish and store it in his garage for people in need. EERN has grown substantially and now operates out of two large factories. It also services 115 partner agencies. Quite often, the clients are domestic violence survivors or have significant financial issues due to homelessness, refugee status or long-term unemployment.

As a not-for-profit organisation, EERN ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to sustainability. It keeps useable items, such as furniture, electrical appliances, whitegoods and other household items, out of landfill by rehoming them and providing them to people in need. EERN has also made a huge effort to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels by installing solar panels on both its factories and removing gas heating. The installation of infrared heating was made possible through Whitehorse City Council’s Community Grant program.

L For EERN’s full story, search ‘Green Living Champions’ on the Whitehorse website.

It is a key milestone in delivering our Climate Response Strategy 2023–2030 and our longer-term target of achieving net zero emissions by 2032.
