Updates from our Councillors
Mayor Jim Child – O’Shannassy Ward
In July, I attended the First Nations Indigenous round of footy, between the Warburton-Millgrove and Powelltown Football Netball Clubs.
It was an amazing event, bringing people together in the spirit of reconciliation and respect, and a fantastic initiative. I was heartened to see the turnout of locals and visitors to the game, and proud we could provide some support from Council through our monthly Small Grants, to help fund the artwork – including one by Wiradjuri woman, Cindy Mills.
I’d like to thank Nelson Aldridge – who we’re lucky to have in our Indigenous Development Team – for his work in his footy club to help organise this event.
I’d encourage any community member with a great idea to visit yarraranges.vic.gov.au/grants to see if we can help with a Small Grant.
Cr Jim Child,
O’Shannassy Ward Councillor and Yarra Ranges Mayor
