Network Update

Well, things have been busy here at the network. We've almost completed our strategic plan for the next 6 years and will be having our final planning day in the next fortnight. The plan will be availible as a download on our website. Talking of which, Tim Umney of Umney Media has just completed our new website (www.basalttobay.org.au) and I hope to finalise content and have it up and running by the end of the month. Feel free to give us your feedback on what's good and what's not. I reckon Tim has done an awesome job on the site - so thanks Tim !

Thanks also to David Nichols from the Glenelg Hopkins CMA, for his ongoing support for the network and the $9,000 from the GHCMA to complete our strategic plan and website.


I am also pleased to announce that we were succcessfull in recieving $3,308 from the Victorian Volunteer Small Grants scheme for our Revamping Landcare in Gunditjmarra Country project, which will assist towards the provision of Landcare based training activities later in the year. Thanks to the Victorian Department of Planning and Community Development and the Minister for Community Development.
