From our CEO, Frank Zaknich
A recent report to Council contained bittersweet news for our events sector – bitter because Covid-19 has taken a heavy economic toll, but sweet because the report shows that the underlying value of our events and celebrations remains strong and ready to rebound.

Outfoxing predators to save turtles
We're doing our part to bring endangered turtles back from the brink, with a special pen constructed at Wonga Wetlands to make it harder for foxes to eat turtle eggs. The mesh structure has been placed over a sandy bank used by turtles to lay their eggs and we're conducting a trial to see if it keeps foxes out. Simulated human activity in the area is also being used to see if it can drive predators away.

Skate Park construction in final stages
The finishing touches are being added to our new Regional Skate Park in David Street and we're looking forward to opening it up soon. We're now completing the parkour area and the pump track and after that, we'll move the old half pipe into the park. We can't wait to see it in action!

On track for growth as shared path network grows
Local families are stepping out to enjoy our growing network of shared trails across the city. The latest works have seen the completion of the cycling/walking trail all the way from the Hume Freeway to the new Kerr Road roundabout. It's all part of a plan to deliver the infrastructure needed by a rapidly-growing community.
