💛 Here's a proud local moment 🤗 Many who built Moruya Public School’s new raised pedestrian crossing either attended the school themselves or have children there now.

Thanks to the school P&C for raising safety concerns and working with our infrastructure team to find a solution. The team was able to build the crossing during the April school holidays.

🙏 It's slowing traffic and making the school run much safer.

👋 It's National Road Safety Week. Our road safety officer Kat is sharing tips and resources to help keep everyone safe on our roads.

📍 Village Centre Batemans Bay.

Meanwhile, back at the depot, some of our fleet crew are helping spread this year's important message: Drive so others survive. 💛

Whether you're behind the wheel of a truck, ute, motorcycle or family car, every choice on the road matters. Slow down, stay focused and look out for each other.

👋 Farewell to the old “yurt” - a Moruya icon at Lions Park.

Now, a new chapter begins. The upgraded public toilets are officially open, featuring improved accessibility, modern facilities and a much more fitting new nickname… the “loo with a view”.

Swipe through for the before and after photos. Some may miss the old yurt’s character… but probably not the toilets themselves. 😅

💯 We have 100 Return and Earn baskets installed on public bins across the shire.
📉 Where installed, there's an 80 percent drop in the number of drink containers going to landfill.
💲 Not a bad saving, plus motivated community members can pick up these containers and take them to a Return and Earn station, exchanging them for cash.
💻 Now we want to put more in. And we want you to tell us where. In the comments if you will but for a location to be considered, take our quick, two-minute survey - open until 21 May.
