Community Hub Meeting – All Welcome

Have your say about services in your community.
Do you live in Neerim District, Rokeby, Crossover, Jindivick, Nayook, Buln Buln or Noojee?
If so, Baw Baw Shire Council would like to know what services you need, where and when you need them.
As part of the Community Hubs Strategy, we are developing a survey to find out more about your service needs.
This is your opportunity to shape the spaces and resources to be provided to your community in the next ten years.

You can get involved by doing the survey online or picking up a hard copy at the local newsagent, aged care facility, bank or community centre. Complete it and return it to be included in the consultation.
The survey closes on the 2nd June 2021.


We encourage you to complete the survey so we can take your needs into account in planning services for your community, now, and into the future.
To make sure we get it right, we are also holding community consultations so we can clarify the information from the survey and find out your vision for your community.
The community consultations will be held in:
 Neerim South, Wednesday 16th June from 7 pm to 8:30 pm in the Phoenix Room (Neerim South Recreation Reserve)
 Noojee, Monday 21st June from 7 pm to 8:30 pm at the Noojee Community Hall
 Jindivick, Wednesday 23rd June from 7 pm to 8:30 pm at the Jindivick Hall

Why be involved?

We are a diverse community, and your ideas can help shape what services are available in your community
and how they are delivered. Have your voice heard.

Come and join us!

PlaceMaker Consultation – Baw Baw Shire

All are invited to a meeting with the Jindivick Community to be held on Thursday 23 January 2020 to discuss the Jindivick Placemaking Program.

Following a meeting at the end of October with Alison Leighton, CEO of Baw Baw Shire Council, we are committed to working with the Jindivick community to determine a Placemaking project. The Placemaking Program sets out to develop a project that results in the creation of public space that Contributes to people’s health, happiness, wellbeing and adds to the physical and social character of Jindivick. Possible project ideas raised so far by the Jindivick community include:

  • Parking & Pedestrian Movement Issues on Jacksons Track,
  • Drainage Issues on Jacksons Track,
  • Painted Splitter Island at the Intersection of Jacksons Track and Main Jindivick Road,
  • Fencing around the Cricket Oval,
  • Lookout Tower at Kydd Parke Reserve,
  • Street Lighting on Jacksons Track,
  • Prominent Speed Reduction Signs at the Entrances of Jindivick.

If you have any other ideas, suggestions or queries about the Placemaking Program, please send them through to connectingcommunities@bawbawshire.vic.gov.au or call 03 5624 2411 and ask for Matthew Robinson.
A meeting will be held on Thursday 23 January at 7:30pm at the Jindivick Public Hall to discuss potential projects and what the next steps are. Following discussions about the Placemaking Program, there will be an opportunity to discuss the proposed footpath on Jacksons Track.

A survey will be opened on 30 January to establish the preferred project based on the suggestions listed above and any additional, viable ideas received by 2pm on the 28 January 2020. The survey will be available to all Jindivick residents online and via hardcopy forms. After the survey closes on 13 February, Council will close the loop with the Jindivick community and ensure that the Placemaking Program delivers a project that supports better health, happiness and wellbeing for people and adds to the physical and social character of the town.

CFA Community Bushfire Exercise

NEW Venue – At the Jindivick Hall

This interactive forum is specifically designed for residents of Jindivick, Drouin West, Crossover, Rokeby and surrounding areas. If you live in these areas you need to have a Bushfire Plan to ensure that you, your family and your pets are safe this coming fire season. A small time investment now, in developing a bushfire plan, may save your life. This forum will work with the community through a specific fire-threat exercise. It will be very hands on and practical and will be facilitated by CFA. Brigade members will be on hand to answer your questions and assist.

CFA will take you through:

  • Fire Behaviour – how does fire work
  • Interactive / simulated fire activities – Looking at maps of Jindivick and how fire will affect you, where fire could come from etc.
  • Importance of a Bushfire Plan and what the plan needs to contain

If you have an existing Bushfire Plan or you need to start from scratch this workshop is for you.
