Public Toilet Survey
Council currently manages and maintains 72 different public toilets from Murrayville to Merbein. We’re developing a Public Toilet Strategy to guide future investment in public toilet facilities. It will take in to consideration location, security, design, usage levels and costs.
The community is invited to complete a short survey about public toilets in the Council area. You can access the online survey at www.mildura.vic.gov.au/haveyoursay
To request a hard copy of the survey please call our Building & Property Team on (03) 5018 8100.
The survey will close at midnight on Sunday 25 March, 2018.

LOOP THE LAKE BREAST CANCER FUNDRAISER WALK:
Saturday 24th March 2018. 9am registration for a 10am start.
The Underbool Primary school is helping to raise money to go towards breast cancer research and local services.
You can help us by walking, running or cycling around the 10.5km trek around Lake Crosbie at the Pink Lakes, helping out on the day as a volunteer, purchasing raffle tickets or even just coming to join us for the BBQ at the end of the walk. There will be a bus ‘Looping’ the lake, so if you only wanted to walk part of the way you can hitch a ride back to the start.
Cost is a donation that you think is reasonable. Wear something pink or you can even dress up. There will be a raffle, lucky door prizes and prizes for the best dressed. $2.50 for a sausage or hamburger, or soft drink / bottle of water. Water will be free for participants around the track. All participants will need to register.
We are hoping to get some people to fill out a registration form prior to the date. This will help us with numbers (catering) and on the day. Registration forms have been put in the Underbool Post office and Pink Lakes pantry, Walpeup store, Tankard dental Ouyen and Northwest butchers. Or you can contact me directly and I can get one to you – Kylie 0408393817.
Nath Grayling has kindly organised a bus for us coming from and returning back to Ouyen and can do road side pickup and drop off along the way for a small fee of $10 per person - Please contact Nath on 0417507070 if you would like a seat.
This is a family event which is suitable for prams and bicycles so please come along and support our event. Please also note that animals are not allowed due to National Park regulations and that all children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
