The WW1 centenary exhibition 'Australia Will Be There: Victorians in the First World War (1914-1919)' will feature over 100 photographs drawn from major collections, including the Australian War Memorial and State Library of Victoria, and from the families of those who served, at the Longwood Community Centre.

In just over three months, the Bogie Bulk Buy program (currently in week 15) has installed, or is scheduled to install, 392kW of solar, with uptake from 77 households and businesses.
This will see an estimated 18,734 tonnes of CO2 emissions avoided during the life of these solar systems, which are predicted to be active for 30 years.
The community's investment in the Bogie Bulk Buy in the last 15 weeks will mean an additional $176,000 remaining in local pockets each year.
The strong enthusiasm for exploration and uptake of renewable energy options from residents has led Council to schedule a sixth free information session on Saturday, 18 November at Under the Sun cafe in Strathbogie.

Free urban fruit tree removal program has been extended until the end of October.
Property owners with unwanted fruit trees in residential yards have until the end of October to apply to have them removed at no cost through the Urban Fruit True Removal Program.
The program is part of a regional approach to combating the spread of Queensland Fruit Fly (QFF) and has been extended to accommodate the high number of property owners opting to remove unwanted fruit trees.
More than 600 applications have been received to have unwanted fruit trees removed from residential yards since the program began in July.
Goulburn Murray Valley Regional Fruit Fly Coordinator Ross Abberfield said unattended fruit trees and rotten fruit left on the ground or tree provide an ideal breeding ground for fruit fly.

Ecologists Tim D'Ombrain, Janet Leversha and Ian Castle from Biodiversity Services have embarked on a spring-summer assessment of roadsides in the Strathbogie Shire.
Several weeks into the assessment, Tim said they were very impressed with the quality and standard of roadside vegetation in the region.
This assessment involves driving along each Council-managed road, recording every plant species identified on the roadsides.
Every time they record a species it is geographically referenced and photographed.
An assessment of the conservation value and nature of the native vegetation on the roadsides is made.
The assessment will provide Council with a huge amount of detailed data that will make roadside management a more time and cost-effective process.
