ROAD GRADING PROGRAM

Golden Plains Shire Council will host a free environmentally focused Photography and Plant Identification workshop titled ‘Photo[Synthesis]’ for residents to capture the environmental significance of the local flora and fauna of Golden Plains.

Open to all residents, of all photography abilities, the workshop will be held on Saturday 12 August at the Don Wallace Teesdale Grassy Woodlands Reserve, 1164 Bannockburn-Shelford Road, Teesdale, from 10am until 12pm.

Participants of the workshop will not only develop their photography skills in the natural environment, but also gain a deeper knowledge of local native and non-native plant species. The ‘Photo[synthesis]’ workshop will be led by members of the Golden Plains Youth Activation Committee (YAC) who recently captured photographs for the Volunteers in Action photo exhibition, currently on display at the Bannockburn Cultural Centre.

Photos captured as part of this workshop will also be eligible for entry in the Golden Plains Shire Council’s Spring in the Shire photography competition, returning in 2023. To register, visit goldenplains.vic.gov.au/events

Council's Road Grading Program allows for unsealed roads in the Shire that are maintained by Council to be graded throughout the year. The program runs from March to November. During the warmer months, when it's too dry for maintenance grading works to be cost effective and efficient, graders may be engaged to complete drainage, construction or sealed road shoulder maintenance.
