The YRR Committee of Management has recently upgraded its security access arrangements with installation of an electronic fob entry system across all facilities. We were exceptionally pleased to have two major project partners, the Bendigo Bank Mirboo North and District Community Bank and Latrobe City Council come together to provide a significant portion of the project cost. Their support enabled the speedy installation of the new electronic access system which addressed a number of deficiencies in the former bi-lock key arrangement. This project is one of several improvements made across the Reserve buildings including the installation of movement sensors, security cameras and monitored alarm systems. Thanks Bendigo Bank and thanks Latrobe City - your ongoing support to our community is exceptional, and greatly appreciated.

Latrobe City has made the change to the Jumbuk Road speed limit outside the Recreation Reserve as requested by the Committee of Management. Now 80 kmh from the township boundary to Monash Way, the reduced limit along with other road safety measures implemented by LCC will improve traffic and pedestrian safety for those accessing the Reserve, as well as traffic travelling on Jumbuk Road. Several instances of children being dropped off at the closed gate nearest the township and vehicles then crossing double lines have been noticed. This is a traffic offence and a safety matter, VicPol have been advised and along with the reduced speed limit will be patrolling Jumbuk Road so probably best to ... do the right thing and avoid the potential fine and points loss. Thanks to Latrobe City Council for understanding the road safety issues and taking action to address them.

You may have seen throughout this hot and dry summer period a few volunteers (Ken H & Dean VDM come to mind!) religiously shifting the large fixed sprinkler on the Reserves Western Oval every 2-3 hours, ensuring its surface remains in top shape for this cricket season and footy matches which are just around the corner. As the sprinkler has to be shifted manually, this requires a huge number of volunteer hours and constant attendance at the oval at all times of the day and sometimes night. This workload on our volunteers is about to be significantly reduced through acquisition of a new self-propelled travelling irrigator that will go from end to end of the oval, pretty much a set and forget operation. This acquisition has been made possible through a Latrobe City Council Major Capital Works grant together with a contribution by the Recreation Reserve Committee of Management. We thank Latrobe City for its ongoing support, assistance and encouragement to the CoM and its volunteers through its various grant programs.

You may recall the Yinnar Recreation Reserve Committee approached Latrobe City Council with concerns on road safety along Jumbuk Road, with a particular focus on the safety of vehicles entering and leaving the Reserve together with pedestrian access to and from the town. Council responded quickly detailing a number of possible measures that would address the issues, it is really pleasing to see progress including:
Entrance and No Entry Signage: Council has installed entrance signage to clearly mark the Reserve entrance, as well as "No Entry" signage to the closed township vehicle entry to improve traffic flow and reduce confusion for drivers.
Double Barrier Line: Council have replaced the single line with a double barrier line to prohibit overtaking near the Reserve entrance, which enhances safety for vehicles turning into and out of the Reserve.
Raised Reflective Pavement Markers (RRPMs): To improve night-time visibility, especially in adverse weather conditions, LCC have installed raised reflective pavement markers to highlight the changed road conditions in this section.
New 80 km/h Speed Zone: Council have obtained approval from the Department of Transport and Planning to reduce the speed limit on Jumbuk Road to 80 km/h. This is expected to occur in the next 4 to 6 weeks.
Improved awareness of separation between the township / Rec Reserve walking path and Jumbuk Road: Council have installed a significant number of white guideposts creating a heightened level of awareness of the walking path and a more effective visual separation between the walking path and road.
The one remaining recommend improve safety improvement initiative – installation of a light above the roadway at the Reserve entrance providing drivers with a clearer understanding of the entrance location particularly at nighttime – this has been referred to Council’s budget process for funding consideration.
Thanks to Latrobe City Council Officers who have responded appropriately resulting in the improvement of road safety, including pedestrian safety along Jumbuk Road. Thank you for listening and delivering.
