Recently the 3228 Residents Association was asked to become involved to represent a group that like to canoe the Thompson Creek. A landowner had erected a fence across the creek near the Blackgate Rd bridge, effectively preventing access to the waterway north of Blackgate Rd.

3228RA contacted council and the office of Andrew Katos asking if the fence was permitted and if not, what could be done.

Andrew Katos’ office followed up the enquiry with the Corangamite Management Authority and they have responded that the fence is not permitted and will have it removed.

The 3228RA was happy to assist in this matter and would like to thank the office of Andrew Katos for their efforts.
