<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">The Harcourt Community Plan identified interest in establishing a Community House or similar community services facility. There are 400 neighbourhood / community houses throughout the state, funded by the State Government who pay a coordinator to conduct a variety of services and activities which may then also generate fees and income. For example, the Lancefield Neighbourhood House runs their local op shop and farmers market which have raised in excess of $130,000 over the past 3 years, which goes to support other local community groups.</span><br />

You can read about the YMCA's invitation to come along to the Harcourt Outdoor Pool to check out the upgraded facilities: gates open Friday 21 November, from 4pm to 6pm.<br />
As Councillor Cordy points out: 'The pool is a fantastic asset to our community'.

<span style="font-family: Consolas;">Mount Alexander Shire Council made the decision in 2012
to rename the road Harmony Way after Henry "Harmony" Nelson, one of
the 'apical' elders of the Dja Dja Wurrung clan. The Dja Dja Wurrung are
recognised traditional owners of the area, and Henry was one of only eighteen
individuals whose descendants can be regarded as members of the clan.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">Appropriately, the ceremony was held beside the scar tree
in Stanley Park, where new signage explaining the name and Henry's association
with the region has also been erected.</span></div>

<o:p><span style="font-family: Consolas;"> </span></o:p><br />
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">Henry was born around 1855 and spent much of his youth in
the area, as well as travelling between major centres of traditional activity
throughout his long life. Despite being removed under duress to Cummeragunja
and Framlingham, he and his descendants maintained a connection to the area,
and several generations of Nelsons now reside here.</span><br />
<o:p><span style="font-family: Consolas;"> </span></o:p><br />
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">The suggestion to rename the highway came about as a
result of community consultation and representations made to Council and
VicRoads from several local people, as well as the Nelsons and the Dja Dja
Wurrung. An alternative suggestion, Mount Alexander Road, gained support in a
survey but was not supported by submissions, leading the Council to lean toward
Harmony Way.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">Mayor, Michael Redden, rather dryly outlined the somewhat
lengthy process undertaken to first decide on a name, then guide the decision
through State Government and VicRoads channels. However he spoke with clear
pride of his and other Councillors' support of the result and its significance
to both indigenous and non-indigenous Shire residents and visitors.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">"This significant honour provides lasting
recognition of Henry Harmony Nelson, a prominent figure in the history of the
Dja Dja Wurrung people," he said.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">Uncle Rick Nelson, himself an elder of the local Jaara
Jaara people and a direct descendant of Henry, agreed the decision had meant a
lot to the Nelson family, the Jaara Jaara and all the Dja Dja Wurrung. </span></div>
<o:p><span style="font-family: Consolas;"> </span></o:p><br />
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">"If my father (Brien, Henry's great grandson) could
be here today he would be beaming with pride, happiness and honour," he
said. "I thank the Mount Alexander Shire and Mayor Redden for supporting
such a monumental proposal."</span><br />

<div style="padding: 0px;">
The link to The Core is always in top right corner of this blog. Get it now! Clicking the small arrow at the top left of The Core will show to in full screen. And remember, you can pick up the printed version at the Harcourt Store or Post Office.</div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Throughout the community planning process, there were strong voices arguing that Harcourt needed it's own local paper. Not just an online version but a printed copy too. Something which would strengthen local ties and help get the community behind local events and initiatives.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Robyn Miller from the Harcourt Progress Association has bravely taken on this responsibility from Kelly Aitken who pioneered this initiative. Robyn created her first edition last December and has now released the February Edition. She is always looking for ideas and fresh content but has asked that all submission be received by 24 of the month prior. Advertising costs and Deadlines are on the front of each edition of the Core.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">As a follow
up to our article about the general unhappiness expressed by residents about
the road works in the centre of town, the Core can report the following:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">With the
assistance of Councillor Tim Barber, the Harcourt Reference Group has had
discussions with Council about the state of the road works.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Neil Charter on behalf of the group,
expressed disappointment to Council representatives about the management of the
project, which was to be completed by June 30, 2013.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">In response,
the Council has undertaken to solve a number of outstanding issues. These
include:</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Symbol; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">The
ability to temporarily open up the end of Bagshaw Street for the Applefest
parade. The council plans to alter the arrangement of the bollards and make the
chevron sign removable so that vehicles can pass through. However, curb and
channel has also been laid here which may prove a challenge for some vehicles
or floats.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Symbol; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Drainage
at the end of Bagshaw Street is to be reinstated, as the works have caused
water to pool on the north side.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Symbol; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Signs
indicating “changed traffic conditions” will be erected at various points to
alert drivers</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Symbol; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">At
the moment “no right turn” for vehicles travelling north, is indicated from
Harmony Way into the continuation of Victoria Street. The amendment to the
intersection to allow this will be considered in the 2014/2015 budget.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Symbol; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">The
slipway will be planted out and an informal walking track put in to connect
Victoria Road with the town centre</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Symbol; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Planting
of the median strip will be done to enhance the recent tree plantings</span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Symbol; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">A
bus shelter will be installed on the western side of Harmony Way, near the post
that has the VLine Timetable (south of the shop)</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Symbol; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Two
bus shelters will be installed for the eastern side of Harmony Way where the
new footpath and bus parking has been established. (One has been erected in
recent days).</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Symbol; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Due
to the 70 kmh speed limit, Vic Roads has blacked out the pedestrian crossing
first installed. This is now an “informal crossing point” with signs warning
pedestrians to give way to traffic.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Symbol; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">The
footpath leading to the new pedestrian crossing has to be modified and partially
replaced because the angle of the path makes it difficult to use. This path
will have a safety barrier.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Symbol; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">

signs are to be installed</span></div>

</span></span></span><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">The
RV Dump Point has been installed and road sealing works are underway. Some
signage will also be required to direct visitors. </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Symbol; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Council
has indicated it is going to apply for a 60 km speed limit to slow traffic as
Harmony Way does not meet Vic Roads criteria for a 50 km speed limit.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">The problem
now for the community is that we are currently left with many features of these
works left unfinished with no known time-line for completion. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">We now also
have three types of pedestrian crossings on the road – one with some protection
opposite the shop, one south of this called an “informal crossing” and one
further south again called a “refuge crossing”. This last crossing has no paths
leading to or from it, is difficult to access from the eastern side and was
apparently not included in the original plans.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">The
Harcourt Reference Group meets again on Monday 25 November in the ANA Hall at
7.30 pm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Community members are welcome
to attend. The Core will attend and will attempt to get some answers about
completion dates.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU">ANNUAL GENERAL MEETINGS – the next big item on our
agenda. I have been most impressed by the organisation of CWA. The two year
limit for president – of State, Group or Branch means that there is a continual
change in the way things are done – but not big changes. These new beginnings
every two years really keep the Association alive. The wisdom of having the
really hard-working secretaries and treasurers around for longer makes sure CWA
doesn’t fall in a heap. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-AU">Now is the time to start thinking about next year. All
office-bearers are elected for one year. The president may be elected for a
second year, but must have a year off before taking office again. The secretary
and treasurer may also be elected for a further year – up to a maximum of five
years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-AU">Nominations should be made by branch members and are
open until the AGM. This means no nominations or appointments are finalised
until the AGM. It would be quite good fun to have a vote or two. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-AU">Any branch executive formed must include ALL the
branch office bearers (President, Vice-president, Secretary and Treasurer) and
any other members appointed at the AGM. They can prepare the agenda and plan
events – but all their decisions must be ratified by the branch.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-AU">Now that I have seen just what can be accomplished
following the CWA rules and objects at State level, my aim is to see what we
can achieve together in the Central Vic Group. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
