Clare Valley Podcast - Episode Two

Welcome back to the Clare Valley Podcast!

In this episode, you'll hear an update from Helen Macdonald, the Chief Executive of the Clare and Gilbert Valley Council about major road projects in the council area and local Councillors are calling for everyone who enters the Council chambers to be COVID double vaccinated. 

Also bushfire preparation and what regulations are in place to make sure landowners have mowed and cleaned up their blocks ahead of the bushfire season.
This bushfire season is going to be a testing one as fuel loads are the highest in years, following a wet winter and spring. You'll hear what the Council's responsibilities are to ensure the community is prepared this summer. We're joined by Andrew Christiansen, the Director of Development and Community  at the Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council, and Boyd Kench and Mick Tobin , Compliance Officers, CGVC.

Also, without a doubt, all of us have something lying around the house that’s broken. A toaster, a crock pot, maybe a hole in piece of clothing?  More than likely, that item would sit at home and gather dust, or you'd throw it out. Am I right?
We live in such a wasteful society that many of us, don’t have the simple skills to fix things anymore. That’s where the Repair Café comes in. The Clare Library Repair Café was launched in the Town Hall in November, where people take in their damaged or broken items to be fixed by a group of willing volunteers.
We head along to open day and catch up with Heather Lymburn, The Clare Library Manager and Coordinator of the Clare Repair Café;  Mary Clark, a volunteer; Michelle Edmondson, a customer and Susan Cunningham, Climate Connect Midnorth.
It’s a monthly event. The next one will be on December 4th at 4:30- 7pm running alongside the Village Twilight Market on the main street of Clare.
