Spring 2009 Newsletter for Healesville Biz Directory

I know this newsletter follows the last one quite closely, however, we had such an amazing response to the Winter edition with information to be included in the Autumn newsletter that I need to get this one out at the beginning of the season.

Thank you also to those businesses who corrected or added their details, or decided on a paid listing. The directory has so many benefits for locals and people outside the Healesville district, with everything you need to find all in one place, but can also be accessed from all over the world so the potential for tourists is huge.

Healesville Biz and Ozzinet Web Design will be having a much greater public image if all goes to plan! We will be having a shop front at East End, hopefully opening in November. So now is a great time to jump on board, lets enjoy the ride!

PROPOSED COMMUNITY BANK
(BENDIGO BANK) HEALESVILLE

Why have a community bank branch?

To unite the town, and capture the spirit of all groups within
To empower the community by owning their own bank branch
To create a sustainable community by reinvesting profits directly back into your community
Employment of locally selected staff who know and respect the needs of your own community
To return dividends to local shareholders
Successful communities are those who are empowered engaged and enlivened.

There are over 230 locally owned Community Bank Branches across the country !

A pledge of support is currently being sought, no money is being asked for as yet, as only indication of intention to purchase shares are needed at this stage.

HEALESVILLE TOWN ENTRANCE PROJECT

The Healesville Town Entrance Project is an initiative of Community 3777, our Healesville Township group, who is working for the Healesville community to contribute to making this a vibrant and healthy township.

This group has a number of committees working on projects for older people, our youth and now they are turning their attention to an aspect of tourism and pride in the community, our Town Entrance Statement.

A few events have been held to get people talking, including a public meeting at the Memorial Hall and a workshop at the High School.

The Healesville sign, made to look like the famous Hollywood sign, was on the hill just over the 3 bridges for some time, that has now moved to the strawberry farm corner of Healesville - Woori Yallock Rd. This sign generated plenty of interest and got people talking.

Over the next few weeks the ideas will be collated and three designs will then be put to the local residents for them to vote for their preferred idea.

Healesville Biz and Ozzinet Web Design will be hosting a web site to facilitate this process, an exciting new venture for our project and for Sally and her small team. This site is under construction but will be updated regularly and voting will take place through it, so bookmark the page to keep up to date.

Keep your eye on this site for further developments and to have your say by voting.
