When we, hard-working residents of the Yarra Ranges, pay our rates to the council, we sometimes might think: ‘Where exactly does my money go?’
The majority of the works the council completes are minor works, so it’s easy to overlook them, whereas the bigger, more expensive projects get a lot of attention.
In October, a number of minor works were completed by the Yarra Ranges Council – here’s a quick rundown of those in Ryrie Ward.
Herbert Street in Yarra Glen had a crossover renewal.
The entrance to the Yarra Glen carpark (at the rear of post office, off Healesville-Yarra Glen Road) was renewed and widened.
There was stump replacement at the Badger Creek old School House.
The ceiling and skylight was repaired at the McKenzie Reserve Public Toilet.
