EDITION 80, MARCH 2017
www.GORDONVALE.net.au Mulgrave News is proud to be able to launch their new website gordonvale.net.au. The site is in addition to their current website MulgraveNews.com.au, but has a lot more to offer to both locals and tourists alike. The first page of the website has a little about the history of the town and pictures from around the township itself. It is hoped that the website is a one stop shop for anything to do with Gordonvale. In the business section are local Gordonvale businesses that offer services to the community in an effort to keep the local people spending locally. There are also details of local attractions including Behana Gorge, Goldsborough Valley and Greenpatch. Also included are our under utilised attractions such as the Settlers Museum. Residents will also be able to keep up with the upcoming events including the Great Pyramid Race and Country Faire, Animal Education Day and of course the annual Carols in the Park. The website is run in conjunction with a number of other initiatives and improvements to raise the profile of the town including the new RV parking area adjacent to the Mulgrave Mill. Further improvement to the town centre include new signage in Norman Park. Division 1 Councillor Brett Moller said he was pleased to see new signage installed in Norman Park at its northern location at the intersections of Norman and Gordon Street Gordonvale. Councillor Moller said this project came about after he asked for a safety audit of the park last year to look at incidences of anti-social behaviour, lighting and general park amenities. "What was identified was that nowhere did we have signage of the do's and dont's in the park where the Police and our local laws officers could point to in addressing issues in respect to unlawful activity in the park" "At the same time I wanted something that made a positive statement about the park

given how valued it is by our local community" commented Councillor Moller. As an iconic town square in the heart of Gordonvale which is being more and more utilised, Councillor Moller is looking to see what further upgrades can be made. This will include some exercise equipment and a bike rack for those who may wish to walk or ride to Norman Park to exercise. " I look forward to consulting with the community where some exercise equipment structure options can be put forward for residents to consider and provide feedback to enable this next project to be delivered" said Councillor Moller. It's pleasing to see Council is focused on and delivering for the Gordonvale community. Northern Italy to Northern Australia
