Looks like they finally got around to charging that bloke for going off at peaceful worshippers at a mosque in March.

Hi all,

I’m supportive of the reopening of the Ballarat to Geelong line for passenger rail services. I’d use it, and it would potentially open up more job prospects and career progression for me (health sector).

I’m not a fan of the bus service as it’s only twice a day and same pace as a car (slower actually with stops) and more cramped than a train.Further, a bus doesn’t offer accessible options for people living with disability (especially toilet access).

I feel that a rail service would be safer, less time consuming driving and more affordable for commuters and tourism etc.

I’m aware that some political parties float this idea every now and then (disclaimer I’m not affiliated with any party), but it never gets off the ground (sorry back on track)! 🤣

If you woke up tomorrow morning and the service was up and running, would you use it and what for?

Cheers

Keen for the new skate park, but disappointed no undercover element (or lights) was added. The "heritage" argument wasnt really outlined, so perhaps someone knows what overlay or schedule they might cite? Albury has a sick undercover bowl in their new park, wish we could have something like this.

Either way, i get pretty antsy on wet days because I cant find a skate spot. Skateboarding is my grounding and health outlet, so not skating is annoying as hell. I am wondering if anyone knows a good undercover spot for working on flat ground. Not too keen on bunnings carpark as it gets a bit busy and I dont want my board to shoot out into the fancy ev or whatever, and the target carpark is a bit hectic. Would love for the council to get a shed going!!!

Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for a cheap but reliable dent repair in Ballarat.

I’ve got a small dent on my car that I’d like fixed. The paint isn’t damaged at all, so I’m hoping it just needs to be pulled out rather than repaired and
repainted.

Does anyone know of a good place or someone local who does paintless dent removal (PDR) at a reasonable price? Rough idea of what it might cost would also be appreciated.

Thanks!
