12/19/21 • 32 min

Welcome to the Clare Valley Podcast brought to you by the Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council, keeping you informed on the latest Council news, upcoming projects and community events in the area.

A jam packed episode this month:
1. The Clare Bike Park has been given a major facelift! After 18 months of planning, consultations and design work, there’s bigger jumps, better tricks and the kids couldn’t be happier.
2. An exciting development for the community of Auburn, after 4 years of planning, a very impressive giant sculpture has been erected at the entrance of the township. A very generous resident bequeathed $64, 000 to the town to build a gateway statement on the southern entrance to the town! It sure does make a statement! Go and check it out!!
3. What does council do in regards to recycling and what happens to all the materials once they leave the local waste transfer station? Also disposable face masks. People still aren’t doing the right thing and cutting the ear loops before they dispose in the bins. They’re a hazard to wildlife!
4. Hear the latest from Council on a plan for a mobile library service, delays in design costings for the Clare and Riverton Town Halls, upcoming Naidoc celebrations and community consultations for the draft design of the Auburn Streetscape Plan.
Enjoy. This podcast is also chaptered, so merrily skip to the topic you're most interested in.

Clare Valley Podcast - Clare Library Repair Cafe

Welcome back to the Clare Valley Podcast!
In this episode, you'll hear an update from Helen Macdonald, the Chief Executive of the Clare and Gilbert Valley Council about major road projects in the council area and local Councillors are calling for everyone who enters the Council chambers to be COVID double vaccinated.
Also bushfire preparation and what regulations are in place to make sure landowners have mowed and cleaned up their blocks ahead of the bushfire season.
This bushfire season is going to be a testing one as fuel loads are the highest in years, following a wet winter and spring. You'll hear what the Council's responsibilities are to ensure the community is prepared this summer. We're joined by Andrew Christiansen, the Director of Development and Community at the Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council, and Boyd Kench and Mick Tobin , Compliance Officers, CGVC.
Also, without a doubt, all of us have something lying around the house that’s broken. A toaster, a crock pot, maybe a hole in piece of clothing? More than likely, that item would sit at home and gather dust, or you'd throw it out. Am I right?
We live in such a wasteful society that many of us, don’t have the simple skills to fix things anymore. That’s where the Repair Café comes in. The Clare Library Repair Café was launched in the Town Hall in November, where people take in their damaged or broken items to be fixed by a group of willing volunteers.
We head along to open day and catch up with Heather Lymburn, The Clare Library Manager and Coordinator of the Clare Repair Café; Mary Clark, a volunteer; Michelle Edmondson, a customer and Susan Cunningham, Climate Connect Midnorth.
It’s a monthly event. The next one will be on December 4th at 4:30- 7pm running alongside the Village Twilight Market on the main street of Clare.
