Key aim of the project is to reduce the amount of material going into landfill as well as providing some income for the Club. As at September, the project has collected more than 8500 kilograms of aluminium cans which have been recycled. The project is ongoing, organised by Ray ‘Fox’ Chanter, Richard Jack, Michael Harper and Ray Steyger. You will find wheelie bins with red lids marked “cans only” near the entry gate at theAlexandra Showgrounds and Recreation Reserve. If you have aluminium cans (crushed if possible), please deposit them in the bins. If you have any questions, please contact Ray Steyger on 5772 2627. The Rebels’ growth into the future is dependent on everyone getting involved as we intend to make a positive impact on and off the field with juniors and seniors’ football and netball in 2022. So if you would like to assist in any capacity, please let us know. - Ray Steyger

News Briefs New NE Link plans
■ New designs have been released for the North East Link Project, including: ■ a longer tunnel ■ a simpler interchange at lower plenty. Banyule Council says it is looking forward to a full briefing. Cr Tom Melican, Mayor, said:“We’ve not seen the detail yet, but the longer tunnel and a simplified Lower Plenty Rd interchange are really positive improvements to the design.” “We’ve worked really hard with our community over many years to show that these improvements make complete sense, environmentally and for the overall design. “It’s a win, that some of what we worked hard for is now locked in and we are getting clearer on what will actually be delivered “Upgrades to the Watsonia station are still a missing piece, especially with such a big new carpark,” Cr Melican said.

Draft Local Law
■ The Draft Nillumbik General Local Law is now open for community feedback, after being endorsed at last month’s Council meeting.
