If any community members can spare a few minutes to pull some weeds or prune a few shrubs around the hall, your help would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to use the 'green bin' and put it out for collection.

Mallee Track Health and Community Service - Victorian Coronavirus Restrictions Update.
On Sunday the Premier of Victoria, Dan Andrews, announced a roadmap to easing of current restrictions in Victoria. There was a lot of information provided and with the restrictions differing between the Greater Melbourne area and Regional Victoria it can be very confusing. Please remember the best place to get information is from the Department of Health and Human Services directly. The website and phone number are below if you would like more information.
