Dunolly scoreboard opening
Last Saturday (18/03), Dunolly’s Community Messaging and Scoreboard at Deledio Reserve was officially opened.
The project was made possible thanks to a significant fundraising effort by the Lannecoorie Dunolly Cricket Club along with funding from the Victorian Government’s Sports Infrastructure Fund, Community Bank Maldon & District Council and in-kind contributions from local businesses.
Congratulations to everyone involved in delivering this wonderful outcome for the Dunolly community.

FOR PET OWNERS
Animal registrations
Are you a dog or cat owner?
Animal registrations are due by 10 April and renewal notices are expected to arrive in your mailbox next week – if they haven’t already.
Registering a dog or cat greatly improves the chances of it being returned if it becomes lost.

Princes Park Grandstand
We’ve recently become aware of termite damage in one of the structural beams at the Princes Park Grandstand.
To ensure the safety of the community, and to enable further investigation to be carried out, a section of the grandstand has been closed off from community use.
We’ll keep the community updated as soon as we know more.
