Colac Otway Shire Council is going to “let natur

Colac Otway Shire Council is going to “let nature take its course” and allow a colony of bats to remain roosting in heritage trees in the Colac Botanic Gardens.

It comes after the council spent more than $300,000 over a period of four years unsuccessfully attempting to move the grey-headed flying foxes.

A council officer explained that the council had attempted to disperse and ‘nudge’ the bats from their current location near the playground but never managed to get them to the preferred spot along the northern side of the gardens.

“In the end it’s a team game, and if as a team you can work together then you can deliver results – whether you’re in opposition or you’re in government.”

Incumbent Wannon MP Dan Tehan says he has been able to deliver for the electorate both while in opposition and in government.

“The teals can talk a lot, but in the end it’s very hard for them to achieve anything because they just don’t have the numbers, and as one voice it’s very hard to get anything delivered whereas a collective voice you’ve got a lot more power and influence,” Mr Tehan said this week.

“We’ve seen it work in other seats – when a local independent is elected, they are able to deliver a lot more for the community.”

Independent candidate for Wannon Alex Dyson says he will push for Colac and district community infrastructure projects, while his campaign now has more 1000 volunteers.

Mr Dyson appeared at Colac’s early voting centre yesterday and said he had also met with the region’s local councils, including Colac Otway Shire, speaking with its chief executive about roads, childcare and housing issues.

Multiflora Nursery is set to welcome a heap of hug

Multiflora Nursery is set to welcome a heap of huge pumpkins for its second annual giant pumpkin competition.

It’s a chance for locals to see just how big their prized possession can get, with a reward of the pumpkin’s journey coming full circle.

Colac’s Jai and Mia Stinchcombe have watched their Atlantic Giant pumpkin flourish in recent months, now weighing in at 7.4 kilograms.
