A Ram-Raid occurred at Welshpool at the business of Welshpool Outdoors Power Equipment and LPG Gas Supplies yesterday on July 3rd, 2020.
The owners say that the repairs will take a couple of weeks so customers should enter the building through the side gate entrance.
Video caught a white ute in the image which was later abandoned down the road. Police are looking for suspects.
Another sign of our rural area needing more police stationed locally.
In line with advice from the Victorian Chief Health Officer, the Victorian Government has announced that a number of postcodes will return to Stage 3 Stay at Home restrictions from 11.59pm on Wednesday 1 July 2020.
This decision was made in response to increasing evidence of significant community transmission of coronavirus (COVID-19) in these postcodes:
The Suburbs
3012 (Brooklyn, Kingsville, Maidstone, Tottenham, West Footscray)
3021 (Albanvale, Kealba, Kings Park, St Albans)
3032 (Ascot Vale, Highpoint City, Maribyrnong, Travancore)
3038 (Keilor Downs, Keilor Lodge, Taylors Lakes, Watergardens)
3042 (Airport West, Keilor Park, Niddrie, Niddrie North)
3046 (Glenroy, Hadfield, Oak Park)
3047 (Broadmeadows, Dallas, Jacana)
3055 (Brunswick South, Brunswick West, Moonee Vale, Moreland West)
3060 (Fawkner)
3064 (Craigieburn, Donnybrook, Mickelham, Roxburgh Park, Kalkallo)
If you live in these locations, there will again only be four reasons to be out:
Shopping for food and supplies
Care and caregiving
Exercise
Study or work – if you can’t do it from home.
Wherever you can, you should do these things as close to home as you can. If you do need to leave your postcode, those same restrictions – those same four reasons – travel with you. If you live outside these locations, there’s only four reasons to come into these communities: shopping for food and supplies, care and caregiving, exercise, and study or work – if you can’t do it from home.
Eligible local businesses will be able access an initial $5000 in support from the government.
Based on the most up-to-date advice of the Chief Health Officer, students will return to school after the school holidays.

The Precinct Plan was developed following a Council decision in February 2018 to prepare a plan to consider current and emerging issues related to the Venus Bay town centre in response to population and visitor growth.
Travellers and accommodation operators will benefit from on-site temperature testing over the school holidays, with infrared thermometers being distributed across the state to help keep Victorians safe.
From the outset, we have always listened to our medical experts. And they’re telling us we’ve come to a critical crossroads.
Today, our case numbers have hit the highest they’ve been in more than two months. I know that’s not what people want to hear – but sadly, that is our reality.
I pulled the official letter from our post office box early one morning a few weeks ago. It was solely addressed to me.
I was a little shocked upon opening and reading the concerning news, yet subconsciously I’d been awaiting the inevitable day my body would begin to protest.
Trulli is known far and wide across South Gippsland, but like so many of our other businesses, the Meeniyan landmark has been
closed during the lockdown. The difficulty Trulli is facing is a little different than most other businesses in that the operation
employs nine full-time jobs, all of which are here on Visas not eligible for JobKeeper or Seeker support.
Recently my family uprooted our elderly mother from a busy, peninsula town to Foster, so we can be all be near to enjoy quality time and take care of, well, whatever arises. I visited mum the other morning and was pleasantly reminded of what I obviously take for granted these days, having lived the country life for fifteen years.

Victorian agricultural and pastoral societies will be supported to continue putting on events and upgrade infrastructure through support from the Andrews Labor Government. Yarram Successful.
It’s mid-afternoon during the warmest hour of the day and I’m outside trudging in gumboots over our muddy farm, rugged up complete with beanie and scarf, dreaming of what could have been like so many Australians.
The pandemic has hit people, communities and businesses of South Gippsland hard; but it has been a sledgehammer for community sports. There is no social distancing in most team sports. Clubs competitions ceased overnight. Revenues dried up. The games and their supporters are lost potentially for the season.
I happened to bump into a lovely friend this week, whose smiling face never fails to brighten my day.
Community sporting clubs and associations can now make their pitch for a share of more than $100 million in Victorian Government grants dedicated to supporting grassroots players and volunteers.
More than three million Victorians are involved in community sport and recreation. From today, 12,000 clubs and associations across the state will be able to apply for support under a $40 million program to help with basic running costs and to support readiness to return to play.
Sadly, not being a mother myself, I was interested to find out how our local youngsters feel about corona induced social/physical distancing and isolation, and the impact it creates, through their unique, vulnerable perceptions, within their young lives.
You may have seen recent reports on the ABC about a remarkable series of artworks in the form of ten murals scattered about the South Gippsland town of Yarram.
20 years ago, I had a collectables shop in the centre of Melbourne where I dealt in phonecards, coins, and banknotes. It was a fun time
I had an interesting day today!
It started this morning with some essential, weekly food shopping in a Leongatha supermarket. I typically aim to shop early. It’s usually not a busy time and allows me to run in and out, leaving a big chunk of my remaining day for productive tasks.
The following statement is from South Gippsland Shire Council’s Chief Executive Officer, Kerryn Ellis:
I’ve been wanting to pen this wonderful experience for so long, as it’s still a regular occurrence, which continually melts my heart.
Now, during this abnormal pandemic phase, it’s even more significant and an appropriate reminder for us all …
