MAYOR'S MESSAGE
This week we acknowledge the important role volunteers play. Many organisations only exist because of the hard work of volunteers. Thank you to every person who donates their time.

It is wonderful to see the Horsham Arts Council return to the Town Hall this week with their Broadway musical. The talent in our region is outstanding. I look forward to seeing the show twice over the weekend.

The Mali Marrng Mallee Sky exhibition by Gail Harradine and Belinda Eckermann at Horsham Regional Art Gallery is an absolute must see. Take the time to learn about the story behind the stunning handmade cape and hat and view the amazing photos of them being worn at Lake Albacutya.
 
Have a great weekend.

PROJECTS AND WORKS 
TENNIS COURTS RENEWED
Four of Central Park Tennis Club’s courts have been resurfaced. 
Works began earlier this year when contractors removed the existing surface, repaired and filled underlying gaps and resurfaced with a green three-coat surface system.
The courts are multi-purpose, enabling the facility to be used for both tennis and netball.
Council looks forward to the Central Park Tennis Club and community benefiting from the courts in the future.
