WANTED - PEOPLE TO PLAN LOCAL
EVENTS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
The City of Greater Bendigo and MIC Up Produc-
tions (FreeZA) are looking for young people aged
between 12 and 25 who are interested in planning
and running local events for young people.
Interested young people are invited to attend a spe-
cial meeting set to take place at 4.30pm on Wednes-
day on May 4 at BCentral to recruit young people
and start planning some exciting local events for the
future.
City of Greater Bendigo Youth Participation Officer
Rory White said MIC UP productions provides young
people with the resources and skills to get local
events off the ground.
“We want to expand our Committee numbers and
build on the successful events we have put together
in the past.
“In the past we have run Battle of the Bands gigs,
pool parties and live gigs but our aim now is to run
more events, more often for young people through-
out Greater Bendigo.
“The Committee is keen to create awesome events
that reflect what the young people of Bendigo want in
the way of entertainment.
“Future events could include acoustic gigs, dance
parties, BMX/ Skate competitions, comedy nights or
workshops. We are looking for young people who
think outside the box and who are motivated to turn
their ideas into actions.
“This is a great opportunity for young people to have
a say in what happens around Bendigo and I urge all
interested people to attend the meeting to find out
how they can get involved.
“By getting involved young people will be given a
unique opportunity to develop a range of new event
management skills that they would otherwise not get
the chance to learn,” said Rory White.
Anyone who is interested in getting involved can
contact:
City of Greater Bendigo’s Youth Development Team
on 5434 6092,
email to youth@bendigo.com.au
or by visiting www.yobendigo.com.au
NEW BRIDGES FOR
O’KEEFE RAIL TRAIL
The City of Greater Bendigo has completed the
construction of six new bridges on the O’Keefe
Rail Trail which runs between Bendigo and
Axedale.
City of Greater Bendigo Mayor Cr Rod Fyffe said
the O’Keefe Rail Trail follows the disused Bendi-
go to Heathcote railway line and currently runs a
total distance of 19kms from the Bendigo Creek
Linear trail to Axedale.
“The six new bridges are valued at $395,000
and are located near Somerset Park Road, near
Bennetts Road, over Sweeneys Creek, between
Bowles Road and Giris Lane, near Giris Lane
and near the Axedale Cemetery.
“The construction of the bridges is part of a ma-
jor $3.2 million upgrade of the O’Keefe Rail Trail
that will also see the trail extended a further 24
kms from Axedale to Heathcote.
“The 24km extension of the trail from Axedale to
Heathcote will increase the trail’s length to a to-
tal of 43kms and will offer significant start and
end destinations - a major regional city at one
end and a wine and arts orientated small town at
the other end,” said Cr Fyffe.
He said other recent maintenance works along
the O’Keefe Rail Trail have included vegetation
control and drainage and re-sheeting works
along with the installation of new directional
signage.
“Further works are planned to upgrade the
crossing at Axe Creek. In the coming months
planning for the Axedale to Heathcote section of
the trail will intensify and will include the con-
struction of 15 bridges, path construction, sign-
age and emergency markers. These works are
planned for completion by late 2014,” said Cr
Fyffe.
The $3.2 million extension of the O’Keefe Rail
Trail will be funded with $1.9 million from the
State Government’s Regional Infrastructure De-
velopment fund and a $1.3 million contribution
from the City of Greater Bendigo.

CITY URGES RESIDENTS TOTAKE
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST MOSQUITOES
Greater Bendigo residents are being warned to
protect themselves against mosquitoes follow-
ing new detections of Murray Valley encephalitis
virus (MVEv) in sentinel chickens in Bendigo.
City of Greater Bendigo Environmental Health
Manger Susannah Milne said the City is encour-
aging residents to take some simple precautions
to help protect against mosquitoes.
“Even though we are experiencing lower mosqui-
to numbers in the recent colder weather, num-
bers could rise if the weather warms up again.
“Householders should ensure that insect
screens fitted to doors and windows are in good
condition.
“Mosquito numbers can also be reduced by get-
ting rid of stagnant water around the home.
“As mosquitoes take about 10 days to breed,
water containers should be emptied at least
once a week.
“Mosquitoes will breed in anything that can hold
water including old tyres, unused fish ponds and
pot plant holders.
“Mosquitoes are at their most active at dawn
and dusk. To reduce the chances of being bit-
ten, people in mosquito-prone areas should cov-
er up by wearing long, loose-fitting clothing and
use insect repellents containing picaridin or
DEET as an active ingredient on exposed skin
areas when camping, in their gardens or at bar-
becues,” said Ms Milne.
She said usual symptoms of Murray Valley en-
cephalitis virus include severe headache, high
fever, drowsiness, tremor and seizures.
“People experiencing such symptoms should
seek urgent medical attention from their GP or
their local hospital,” Ms Milne said.
MAYOR URGES RESIDENTS TO REPORT
VANDALISM TO POLICE
A number of recently planted trees have been van-
dalised in Rosalind Park and Greater Bendigo
Mayor Cr Rod Fyffe is appealing to anyone who
may have witnessed this act of vandalism to come
forward and report it to the Police.
Cr Fyffe said the City’s Parks staff were extremely
disappointed to discover that six trees worth ap-
proximately $3,300 had been vandalised in
Rosalind Park over the weekend.
“The advanced trees which were 2 metres high
and were located downhill from the Rosalind Park
tower had only been planted about 12 months ago
and have been so damaged that all need to be re-
placed.
“It’s just senseless vandalism that at the end of the
day comes at a considerable cost to the ratepayer.
It’s a huge waste of time, effort and money for all
concerned.
“I encourage residents to contact the Police imme-
diately if they see anyone causing damage to trees
or any public infrastructure in all parts of Greater
Bendigo. This is the only way to stop these types
of senseless acts,” said Cr Fyffe.
He said the Parks staff are currently working hard
to have Bendigo looking its best for the busy East-
er period when both locals and visitors flock to the
City Centre.
“While the Parks staff work hard all year round
they take particular pride in having the City look its
best for Easter so it’s a very busy time of the year
for them.
“Greater Bendigo is known for its fantastic
streetscapes and parklands and it’s really disap-
pointing to see this type of senseless vandalism
occurring,” said Cr Fyffe.

Torchlight Procession
Captain David Patterson, Di Patterson, Felicity Nicholls, Jason Carty and Tim McCrohan put on their
best marching gear and represented the brigade at the 2011 Bendigo Easter Festival Torchlight Proces-
sion. Support was offered by Donna Papworth and little Kate in her bunny suit. We marched with
members from Elmore Fire Brigade as they proudly displayed a banner indicating their centenary cele-
brations. Nineteen other brigades attended the procession, along with marching bands, army, SES, Na-
vy and the Chinese Dragons. The evening offers an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to
providing a vital service to the community.
New Fire Station
Our new fire station is taking shape and going up quite rapidly. At the moment we expect to have the
official opening in June or July and the Goornong community will be invited to celebrate with us on
that occasion.
Incident Report
We have had a busy 4 weeks with our brigade attending 5 incidents, 4 small vegetation fires (mainly
stubble burns getting out of control) and one tractor fire.
