EXERCISE EQUIPMENT FOR THE SAY G’DAY TRAIL

The WHJCG had always intended that the exercise equipment be positioned along the Say G’Day trail at intervals that offer continuance and as a means of connecting the two towns. We have always wanted some facilities at Heathcote Junction, particularly for youth, and this was supported by Council in the past. We were disappointed that only two of the proposed five exercise pods were erected on the Say G'Dy trail.  A third was positioned in Davern Reserve,  We did however negotiate with MSC to provide a small playground at the Heathcote Junction (North Mountain Rd) end of the trail and this has now been built,

SCULPTURE FOR THE LIONS PARK

The WHJCG has long wished to replace the rotting and unsightly wood sculpture in the Lions Park (adjacent to the Wandong railway station carpark) with something more permanent and presentable. Mitchell Shire has been presented with our preferred replacement and we have asked Mitchell Shire to contribute about half the cost. Mitchell Shire has now advised there is no funding and that we should apply for a grant and seek construction approval from Mitchell Shire after community consultation. If the WHJCG had to go through the red tape that Mitchell Shire throws at us currently, Wandong Heathcote Junction would not be the attractive town we live in now. This project now looks like it is going nowhere thanks to Mitchell Shire.

MURAL OF WANDONG CIRCA 1900

The mural of Wandong circa 1900 has been installed at the rear of the Wandong Plaza.  We thank Alpine Petroleum,  the Bendigo Bank, ARTC, Wandong Wallan Lions Club for their financial assistance to make this project happen.
