Make a difference; make a scarecrow

During Mental Health Week (Oct 4-12), we hope to see scarecrows dressed in orange all along the east coast.

Scarecrows are usually made from odd bits and bobs brought together to form something whole. Just like people, who are shaped by many life experiences, both good and bad. Mental health is about embracing all those parts and still seeing value and dignity. 

Orange is the official colour for Mental Health Week, chosen to signal warmth and positivity. It’s  a visual reminder that even in tough times, there’s light and life ahead.

Successful grant application

We're pleased to announce that our Disaster Ready Fund grant application from NEMA, funded by the Commonwealth Government, was successful.

We applied for $125 000 to support Council to purchase an industrial-scale chipper/shredder. The aim is to reduce the risk of bushfire by supporting strategic green waste clearing without the need for burning. 

We expect the machine to be delivered in Oct 2025.
