Moonambel Matters, Redbank Rocks

Redbank is seeing important stormwater drainage and streetscape upgrades, as part of the Redbank Streetscape Project.

Works include drainage along Perry Road and Burge Street, tree planting on Navarre Street and Perry Road, and kerb and channel construction on Navarre Street.

Trees like “Euky dwarf” flowering gums and Crepe Myrtles will be planted based on community feedback and the local climate.

These upgrades, funded with $250,000 from Australian taxpayers, aim to improve drainage and enhance the town's streetscape.

Short-term impacts to locals are expected, but efforts will reportedly be made to minimise disruption.

Monday Memories of almost two years ago, when this little joey from Redbank was being cared for. A big thanks to Central Goldfields Wildlife Rescue for all they did at that moment, and continue to do now! 🙏🏻‍ 🦘

Little Redbank baby, now in care with a beautiful "pinkie" carer!

222km involved to attend this rescue then transport to the shelter 🥱

Please remember, wildlife volunteers are exactly that. We are self funded, we do this for our love of animals 💜

Let's hear it for the incredible Redbank Fire Brigade! 🚒 👏

Their dedication during the Grampians bushfire has been nothing short of heroic. Facing intense conditions, they stood strong to protect lives, homes, and the natural beauty of the region! 🔥 🙏🏻

Redbank Rural Fire Brigade Captain John Hughson has expressed his gratitude to the local brigades from Natte Yallock, Barkly and Warrenmang, as well as his own crew, air support, Police, and all residents who assisted in extinguishing the fire in Redbank yesterday.

"This is a timely reminder of how fast a fire can start and spread with the very dry conditions we are experiencing," he stressed. "If the wind had been from a different direction and stronger, we would have had a very different outcome."

"Be aware of what you are doing, and your surroundings at all times when you are working outside. Make sure you have a water supply close at hand. Check the CFA 'Can I or Can't I?' brochure or contact the CFA. Stay safe."

A big thank you for all that you did, too, John! 🙏🏻‍

The Member for Ripon, Martha Haylett, made a visit to Moonambel Primary School! ☕

No child should ever have to go to school hungry.

That’s why we’ve been serving free, healthy, nutritious breakfasts at schools since 2016.

One thousand schools are already a part of our School Breakfast Club program, including Moonambel Primary School.

And from next year, we’re bringing it to every single government school in Victoria.
