Have your say on the weather

THE Make a Change team will be outside council chambers in Kerang again on Wednesday, ready for an informal chat about the weather.

Gannawarra’s Let’s Talk About The Weather campaign aims to get a local perspective on all things weather, including floods and drought.

In particular they are wanting to gather information relating to the impacts of extreme weather to best plan for future responses.

They are also keen to hear from residents, businesses and farmers around past experiences of flood events first hand.

The team will be set up in Victoria Street, Kerang between 10.30am and noon.

On Thursday, the team will head to The Big Cohuna Stockyards to gather specific local insights.

You can share your thoughts and ideas between 9am and 10.30am.

The information gathered will be collated ahead of the Make a Change forum event to be held in November.
