New sites for ‘walkies’
Off-leash areas for dogs in Brimbank have been tweaked following community consultation. The changes include adding new locations and removing some locations where dogs were previously allowed on leash. New off-leash changes include Killeen Street Reserve, Sunshine West, replacing Buckingham Reserve in Sunshine West; Albion’s Kororoit Creek area behind Selwyn Park has been replaced by a park in the same area but further upstream beside the creek; the Taylors Lakes power easement, from Sunshine Avenue to Rutherglen Way, is replacing Taylors Creek Linear Path/Along Chichester Drive; and Opies Road Reserve was removed due to development of Flagship Park. Signs are being updated in line with the changes and residents are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the updated list. The changes came into effect this month.
Faster internet
Many residents and businesses in Deer Park can now get faster internet speeds on their ADSL service following infrastructure upgrades. The internet boost will give access to services previously unavailable. However, acting Telstra Country Wide Area general manager for Melbourne CBD and West, Robert Franze said some customers might not get the internet speeds they expected from their service. Residents can visit the Telstra Store at Shop 45 Caroline Springs Square, Lake Street, Caroline Springs, for more information.
