Tonight marked the inaugural meeting and election of office bearers for the Heatherdale Community Action Group.  The Heatherdale Community Action Group marks a new chapter for the former Heatherdale Road Action Group as it seeks to protect and enhance the liveability, amenity and environment in and around Heatherdale Road.

While the focus on community concerns stemming from Eastern Recycling and Southern Rocycling will continue the newly incorporated group will also provide a broader focus on issues relating to Heatherdale Road.

The Heatherdale Community Action Group must be congratulated for its incorporation and continuing its strong and active involvement in issues affecting the Heatherdale community.  I look forward to continuing to represent the concerns of the group within council.

Southern Rocycling is due to face the Magistrates’ Court on the 7th and 8th of September in regard to the excessive noise issues made by the movement of pig-iron steel back in January.
